A Quote by Charles Duke

It was a texture. The blackness was so intense. — © Charles Duke
It was a texture. The blackness was so intense.
Love as intense as ice, love as remote as blackness.
My paintings are very much about the consumption and production of blackness. And how blackness is marketed to the world.
The blackness of space was a big shock to me. It is a deep, three-dimensional, oily blackness. You can feel the distance.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not solid. I'm hollow. There's nothing behind my eyes. I'm a negative of a person. All I want is blackness, blackness and silence.
I never had a moment of realization about my blackness - I just was. Blackness was a central thread of my experience as a child and as an adolescent, as it is now that I'm an adult.
Being conscious of Global Blackness is knowing that we are not an island of our struggle but a nation of our triumphs. That's blackness to me.
All I want is blackness. Blackness and silence.
I am not renouncing my blackness and going on about my day. I am rejecting the legitimacy of the entire racial construct in which blackness functions as one orienting pole.
I know texture is really important, but I think texture and stuff precedes songwriting a lot of the time these days.
Blackness, any sort of difference, is not a burden. Relegating blackness or other sorts of difference to serious books that explicitly engage with issues creates a context in which it can seem like one.
Im not really about blackness, per se, but about blackness and whiteness, and what they mean and how they interact with one another and what power is all about.
When I do my own hair, I love Oribe Texture spray and Redken dry shampoo whenever I'm in a rush. It gives it texture and makes it look clean!
I always wonder about the word 'intense.' 'Intense' is used to describe women. Guys are intense, but they don't get described that way.
Being a black artist, the first thing people want to talk about is your blackness, the importance of your blackness, and your black presence.
Being a black artist, the first thing people want to talk about is your blackness, the importance of your blackness and your black presence.
That intense faith in another world, that intense hatred for this world, that intense power of renunciation, that intense faith in God, that intense faith in the immortal soul, is in you. I challenge anyone to give it up. You cannot. You may try to impose upon me by becoming materialists, by talking materialism for a few months, but I know what you are; if I take you by the hand, back you come as good theists as ever were born. How can you change your nature?
