Terence Hammonds born 1976 lives and works in Cincinnati, Ohio. Printmaker, Terence Hammonds received at BFA from the school of the Museum of fine arts in Boston in conjunction with Tufts University. His work is informed and inspired by the struggles and determination of African-Americans seeking equality during the civil rights movement of the 60s and fuses imagery from that era with soul, funk, rap and punk music. Hammonds appropriates imagery from various movements and civil rights history and combines them with decorative motifs and patterns that adorn, memorialize and abstract histories of racial identity in America.

Hammonds was one of 103 American artists selected for the “State of the Art” exhibition at Crystal Bridges, in Bentonville, Arkansas, in 2013.
