Painting - Mixed Media On Canvas
Description
38 x 46" mixed media with enamel, acrylic, and found objects on gallery wrap canvas. This work is from my ongoing "Reparations Series." At the heart of this artwork lies a 2004 US postage stamp, of Paul Robeson, an extraordinary figure who defied societal barriers and whose father was once enslaved. Robeson's presence on this stamp, the 24th in the Black Heritage series, serves as a testament to the resilience and achievements of African Americans. The work includes layers of imagery, textures, and colors, to illuminate the arduous journey faced by the Black community, represented by the title borrowed from the Negro National Anthem. This collage is a tribute to the countless individuals who have paved the way, overcoming obstacles and striving for justice. It is also a call to acknowledge the debt owed to those who have suffered and fought for equality while celebrating the strength, beauty, and richness of African and African American heritage.
