Keep Breathing

0.0 x 0.0

This year had so many challenges, not only Covid 19. When the systemic racism issue exploded with George Floyds murder, the ensuing protests really rattled me out of my slumber. Not having grown up here in the states, I had to sit up and listen, do more research and educate myself. To me, art is not only about beauty, but also about concept and messages. I was so outraged and upset by the events and protests that unfolded, a vision formed in my mind. I researched images and phrases that I heard/read in the media and juxtaposed them around a woman's face. Her lips are pressed together, her mind is screaming. Her gaze is forward, pensively into the future with worry and maybe some hope too. I really hope you like the resulting painting. Please let me know your thoughts.
