🎨 New Work in Progress | #16 of 25
Honoring the legendary Charles White—artist, educator, and mentor to icons like Kerry James Marshall and David Hammons.
The geometric abstraction background reflects his journey:
✨ Gold & Teal → School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC)
✨ Black, Frost, White & Bright Red → Otis College of Art and Design, where he taught from 1965–1979
This portrait (36” x 48”) is part of my Black Male Artist Professor Series, a tribute to Black male artist professors whose work and teaching have shaped art history, culture, and generations of artists.
Every brushstroke is both tribute and testimony.
Stay tuned as this piece unfolds. 🙏🏾
