In Artist Adrian Brandonās Incomplete Portraits, A Year of Life Equals One Minute of Color
When Adrian Brandon starts to color a portrait, he sets a timer. For his rendering of Breonna Taylor, the clock is set to 26 minutesāfor George Floyd, 46 minutes, for Tony McDade, 38, and for Aiyana Stanley Jones, just seven. āWhen the alarm sounds, I am hit with a wave of emotions ranging from anger, to deep sadness, to hopelessness, to feeling lucky that I am still here,ā he says.
The Brooklyn-based artist is working on Stolen, a series of partially filled-in depictions of Black people murdered by police. Each portrait remains incomplete as Brandon only colors one minute for each year of the subjectās life that was cut short. āAside from being able to give the viewer a visual of the various ages affected by police violence, the timer creates a lot of anxiety for me as the artist,ā he says, wondering, āāWhen is the timer going off?ā āWill I be able to finish this eye?ā āDamn, I havenāt even gotten to the lips yet.āā In a note to Colossal, Brandon expanded on the project:
Although this anxiety may seem minor in that the consequences for me are very low, it does really have an effect on me. Anxiety is a feeling that black people are far too familiar with, and to experience that feeling while illustrating these portraits allows each piece to feel like a performance. A lot of Black people are forced to live with this anxiety and accept it as part of our every day. But these feelings build up and are exhausting. I shouldnāt have to do a prayer every time I see police pursuing a Black person in the streets. I shouldnāt feel anxious when the police are talking to a person of color. I shouldnāt feel so damn anxious that I remove my hat and jewelry when the cops pull me over. I shouldnāt feel so anxious that I would second guess calling the police if I ever needed to. This series is pulling me in, in ways that art has never done.
Brandon has been sharing deeper insights behind the portraits, in addition to timelapse videos, on Instagram.

Not to be like āwe live in a societyā but I think a lot of peopleās mental health would be significantly less fucked if they didnāt have to function in a system that forces them to think about their value as a human being as based on how productive they are/how much money people can make off them
nobody talks about how ugly taking care of yourself can be
yes, sometimes itās taking a warm bath and texting memes to friends and keeping an aesthetically pretty journal.
sometimes itās crying silently on your couch at 3am, hugging yourself and reminding yourself that youāre a good person.
self care is not always āaestheticā and cuteā¦and thatās ok. donāt be embarrassed, just do what you need to do.
i love my solitude but i was meant to be a lover
someone said āthe version of me you created in your mind is not my responsibilityā and wow
donāt let your creativity die from the lack of support

āAll the flowers would have very extra special powers, they would sit and talk to me for hours when Iām lonely in a world of my own.ā
Me introducing myself like hi I romanticise everything, overthink way too much, live 85% of my life in my head and still canāt believe Iām a Real Person
