About the Artist
Umar Rashid
Umar Rashid, also known as Frohawk Two Feathers, is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist renowned for his vivid reimaginings of colonial histories. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, and storytelling, Rashid constructs alternative historical narratives that intertwine fact and fiction, often spotlighting the experiences of marginalized communities omitted from traditional accounts. His work delves into themes of race, power, empire, and resistance, blending influences from hip-hop culture, ancient mythology, and 18th-century colonial aesthetics.
Rashid's art has been featured in prominent exhibitions, including Made in L.A. 2020: a version at both the Hammer Museum and The Huntington Library in Los Angeles. In 2022, he presented his first solo museum exhibition in New York, Ancien Regime Change 4, 5, and 6, at MoMA PS1, showcasing over 30 new works that explore the dynamics of political and cultural power through history and fantasy. In 2024, in collaboration with BLUM he was a part of the PST ART: Art & Science Collide project with his solo exhibition The Kingdom of the Two Californias. La Época del Totalitarismo Part 2.
