about.

G. Pack (Gentry Pack) is a Baltimore-based artist specializing in fine art, murals, and graphic design:

“My work is rooted in Afro-Spiritualism and portraiture, with a focus on capturing the emotional and cultural complexities of contemporary African American life. I draw heavily from the chiaroscuro techniques of the Baroque period, using light and shadow to create a sense of tension that mirrors the balance between triumph and adversity that defines much of the Black experience in America today.

I often explore the paradox of resilience in the face of generational inequality, how joy, cultural expression, and spiritual depth continue to thrive despite a history of trauma and erasure. My goal is to create a visual language that speaks to this duality, shedding light on marginalized narratives and giving visibility to the people and stories that are often overlooked.

My connection to spirituality runs deep. I come from a devoutly religious family with a long lineage of preachers, and that influence shows up in both the themes and energy of my work. Faith, mortality, and the human need for connection are constant threads in my paintings and murals. I see each piece as a kind of sanctuary, an invitation for viewers to reflect, question, and feel without shame or judgment.

Ultimately, my work lives at the intersection of personal and cultural history. It honors where I come from while challenging where we are and where we’re headed. Through this process, I aim to create art that bridges past and present, art that not only documents experience but also helps to shape it."
