"FUZZY HAIR WANTED - FBI POSTER 867.615 G •
Angela Yvonne Davis.
Political Activist, Academic, Feminist, Accomplished Author, Black Female Icon. Professor emerita of the University of California.
Long time fighter for rights, justice, equality, and anti-racist campaigner as well as campaigned for prison reform in America.
I find her such an empowering and intriguing figure and when an artist friend suggested her as my next subject, it was an immediate "Yes, ANGELA!!!"
Stylistically, I went for what's becoming my more iconic mixed media artistic style of late mixing a bit of everything in this piece --- charcoal, pencils, ink, newspaper cut-outs even! ...and embellished with gold and silver acrylic highlights!
The Red acrylic really brings Angela to life, and symbolizes the blood... spilled blood of so many black people of more than 400 years of slavery and oppression, a plight which sadly in 2020, is still an ongoing struggle with the wanton killings of innocent black people like Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the paralysis of Jacob Blake more recently.
The struggle continues....
I use my art as a means to get people talking, keep awareness up.
Artivism has always been with us. Artivism will always be with us."
