Georgia native and NYU Tisch School of the Arts graduate Eric Hart Jr. (b. 1999) is a multidisciplinary artist who weaves his creativity through the realms of photography, filmmaking, and performance. Hart's highly stylized artistic language interrogates and refashions dominant structures and symbols that seek to define, contain, and influence Black and/or queer expression. Tackling themes of power, perception, agency, and imagination, his work is a vivid exploration of self-defined beauty and a championing of boundless freedom for folks who look and love like himself.

Hart’s work has appeared in publications such as i-D Magazine, Vogue, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Rolling Stone. His photographs are held in collections including the Rockefeller Foundation and have received praise from artists such as Beyoncé and Spike Lee.

Among his accolades, Hart is a two-time Gordon Parks Scholar, a 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 Art & Style honoree, a Doritos SOLID BLACK Changemaker, and a Google Image Equity Fellow. In 2023, he released his first monograph, When I Think About Power. Hart is currently attending Yale University to receive his Master of Fine Arts.
