Logan Crompton is a fourth-year student at the Kansas City Art Institute. They are a Kansas City native who has spent their life exploring and experiencing art through their community. Their practice explores and constructs narratives through painting, printmaking, and collage. Crompton’s interest in media and identity lends to their Art History and Painting double major at the Kansas City Art Institute, allowing them to explore the effects of art historically important images, and works on identity through the representation of people of color and of varying gender identities and sexualities. Dissection of images and what they mean are at the heart of Crompton’s artistic practice and therefore their career goals. As a Kansas City native and a black member of the LGBT community, Crompton realizes the importance of representation, especially within museums. Their practice is to not only provide an accurate representation of themselves but also to provide that outlet and opportunity for other young black artists.
