Ultra Lumen OG is a limited edition sculpture by Hebru Brantley, bringing his iconic Flyboy into a bold, illuminated form. Cast in polyresin with Brantley’s signature palette—white flight suit, green goggles, orange accents—the figure stands poised and grounded. A hidden cord activates the lightbulb element, transforming the work into a functional light. Released in 2021, it’s both art object and beacon—Afrofuturist, collectible, and built to shine.
About The Artist
Hebru Brantley (b. 1981) creates worlds where imagination is resistance. Rooted in Afrofuturism, comic book aesthetics, and hip hop history, his work reclaims childhood iconography to confront race, power, and possibility. At the center of his universe is Flyboy—a goggled avatar of defiance and wonder, inspired by the Tuskegee Airmen. Brantley’s murals and sculptures breathe life into Black narratives with bold color and mythic energy. From Chicago walls to global art fairs, his work carries the charge of a movement. At Mania, we view Brantley as a world-builder—an artist who turns nostalgia into a launchpad for liberation.
