In his masterful portraits, the Los Angeles artist depicts African American characters from films such as A Warm December (1973) and Feeling Through (2019) with lush brushstrokes on vellum. Each of his compositions reference movie stills that portray scenes of self-reflection and contemplation, alluding to the meditative and spiritual connotations of stillness—and the reality that society continues to grapple with and rehash the same issues.Â
