Sean Qualls is a Brooklyn-based artist, award-winning children’s book illustrator, author and occasional DJ. His latest book is a collaboration with Roots drummer Questlove called “The Idea in You,” a charming children’s book about finding that first spark of creativity. You can see Sean’s art on display now through November 10 in a solo exhibition called “Inner Victories” at Established Gallery here in Brooklyn. The show explores the idea that private victories precede public triumphs. His work across the board — both non-fiction and figurative — leans into notions of race and identity, and the intersection of history and mythology.
