Ronald Lockett (1965-1998) stands out among southern artists in the late twentieth century.
By the time Lockett died at age thirty-two, he had created an estimated four hundred works that document an extra.
Raised in the African American industrial city of Bessemer, Alabama, Lockett explored a range of recurring themes through his art: faith, the endless cycle of life, environmental degradation, historical events, the sweetness of idealized love, mourning, human emotion, and personal struggle.
