Understanding The Blk Art Group
So, what is actually meant by The Blk Art Group?

Explanation of The Blk Art Group
Introduction to the Art Group BLK
All members of the group were caribbean migrant children who were raised in the industrial landscape in and around West Midlands. Their first exhibition, Black Art An ‘Done, was held at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery and focused on the concerns of the Black Community and Racial Prejudice. The group is trying to empower black artists and encourage young white artists to be more socially relevant in their practice. Working with various media such as painting, installation, collection and statue they questioned the British social, cultural and political heritage by adjusting, criticizing, and rediscovering past arts.
Many artists related to the BLK art group then participated in the British black art movement.
Artists related to this group include Eddie Chambers, Dominic Dawes, Lubaina Himid, Claudette Johnson, Wenda Leslie, Ian Palmer, Keith Piper, Donald Rodney, Marlene Smith.
In focus: Donald Rodney
Artist Donald Rodney took pictures from the mass media and popular culture to explore problems related to history, representation, masculinity, racial identity and racism. He also questioned the legacy of the museum and gallery: David Lawson explained in an interview in 2004 that Rodney had told him that he wanted to re-create the British from the sugar-sugar cube that brought British prosperity with human costs.
The main theme of Donald’s work is the social position of black people in a dominated white society … He explored his own history and his family as immigrants to England in works such as Land of Milk and Honey and at my father’s house and he used his illness as a metaphor that he expressed his marginalization of blacks and disabilities.
