Hebru Brantley creates empowering, Afrofuturist visions inspired by notions of heroism.

Based on an original painting of the same name, Free Advice sees the artist’s recurring character Phibby brought to life in three-dimensional form.

Looking up expectantly, the title derives from the words of Brantley’s elders – those who have experienced life in every possible way. In jest or in a bid to save the younger generation from potential pitfalls they've encountered, 'free advice' is offered.

Behind the scenes

Hebru Brantley5 collaborationsHebru Brantley’s young characters are headstrong and ambitious. They appear across canvas, murals and sculpture, often adorned in suits and masks that reference fictional icons like Batman and the Incredible Hulk. As a child, Brantley did not see himself or his friends represented in the comic books and sci-fi stories that he loved. The majority of the narratives centred around one all-powerful figure who was the incarnation of a white male. Critical of this, Brantley translates all that he admires about superheroes into archetypal characters who represent people of colour in an amalgamation of street art, Manga and Pop Art. In parallel, Brantley also paints his artistic heroes, with Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol making appearances on canvas.

From start to finish, the process of purchasing, claiming the NFT counterpart, and receiving the framed piece was nothing short of excellent. My entire experience with Avant Arte displayed a level of professionalism and excellence across the board. Well done!

Great service overall, makes an easy process for buying and shipping art which is typically difficult and expensive.
