Todd Gray, born in 1954, is a contemporary artist working in photography, performance, and sculpture. He lives and works between Los Angeles, California, and Akwidaa, Ghana. Critics have described Gray’s work as fluent in cultural iconography, driven by introspection, and deeply engaged with issues of corporate politics and racial identity. Gray identifies himself as both an artist and an activist, focusing on themes of race, class, gender, and colonialism to challenge entrenched binaries in both historical and contemporary contexts. His self-portraits resist conventional readings of exterior likeness, complicating notions of representation and identity. More broadly, Gray’s practice confronts viewers through a careful balance of inclusion and omission, using what is shown and what is withheld to question systems of power, visibility, and historical narrative.
