@yesterdaynite,Johnny Deadass Appleseed 🎨 (Timber land) (Work in progress) 30 x 30 There once Was a man That lived in a shoe Who ran out of food And didn’t know what to do The boot was so old It began to grow roots He watered and nursed it It started to flourish And one day Began to Grow fruit he could actually chew He saved all the seeds To plant all around Johnny Deadass Appleseed never went hungry And became the proud founder of Timber land town From a little Can come a lot The moral of the story is If your boots are busted Or not If you really hungry You can turn Some Timb into some flower pots That can feed the whole block The forbidden fruit was found on a timb boot . @timberland wassup tho Prints of my artwork available at ydnite.com & afrosirrealism.com . . #supportblackart #alimsmith #yesterdaynite #paint #painting #art #artist #drawing #painting #myth #mythos #blackart #afrosurrealism #afromythology #instaart #blackartforsale #timbaland #surrealism #afrosurrealist #artgram https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTUJ8iDdJg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bj8iybz7z7q2

Memes convertidos en obras de arte.

Alim Smith podría considerarse un artista que no teme atreverse, que hace de su arte un disfrute no solo para quienes lo admiran sino para si mismo. Este artista estadounidense ha dedicado su trabajo a resaltar la cultura afroamericana, basándose en diferentes acontecimientos y expresiones.  

Su última serie se tituló Memes, y la dedicó a pintar imágenes de personajes muy conocidos de la cultura afroamericana que se han vuelto virales en los últimos tiempos. En una entrevista para el medio thegrapevine.com, Smith resaltó que durante el proceso creativo se dio cuenta que lo que más amaba era plasmar las expresiones de los personajes, pues para él la gente negra, posee muchas expresiones y muecas.

Nicky Young, Michael Jordan y Keisha son algunos de los personajes que fueron pintados por Smith, quien con su particular estilo surrealista ha logrado capturar la atención de muchas de personas.

En los últimos meses hemos visto como antiguas obras de artes han logrado llegar a millones de pantallas gracias al recurso del meme. Para algunos esto podría traducirse como una desgracia, mientras que para otros es simplemente parte de la interpretación de una generación, pues como dijo el escritor estadounidense Kit White:  cada generación tiene la oportunidad de reinventar el arte a su imagen y semejanza.

Dope art by @yesterdaynite 🔥 Take care of yourself don’t get obsessed with how your features were arranged You can’t control that To treat yourself like a peace of shit because you think your ugly is wild If you think there’s something wrong with you You should be the first one to give yourself all the love and affection in the world because you can actually relate and understand You know what you need and waiting for the world to love you is like waiting for your mom to give birth to you again so you can start your life over I use to feel ugly and thought well Would I just be miserable for the rest of my life cause of my face? It’s such a smallll part of who I am I had to roast my self I had to deactivate anything that could get in the way of me enjoying myself - freewrite Everyone looks up to the black sheep 30 x 40 Oil on canvas . . #supportblackart #yesterdaynite #alimsmith #oiloncanvas #art #blackart #afrosurrealism #oilpaint #blacksheep #blackartist #painterly #artofvisuals #artlovers #artgram #artislife https://www.instagram.com/p/BmuKe6WFMn-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=scht06ye7euq

@yesterdaynite back at it again ✨ ***prints available at ydnite.com*** Honey bun baby 18 x 24 Oil on Canvas The cuteness is overwhelming lol this was met with a lot of resistance cause I never seen the meme but after taking surveys and @urbannaturechick insisting that I had to do honey bun baby or I ain't real lol I had to , and it became one of my favorites cause that expression is so peaceful lol I'm gonna start making alt endings for paintings, because there are so many different backgrounds that can work . That's really the most overwhelming time consuming part of a painting , figuring out what to do with the background. 🎨 #supportblackart #yesterdaynite #alimsmith #honeybunbaby #afrosurrealism #meme #memeart #blackart #oiloncanvas #painting #oilpainting #blackvoices #painterly #blkcreatives #veryblack #artlovers #tsr #artofvisuals #okayafrica #hyperallergic #artnet

Roll Safe by @yesterdaynite 👌🏾 18 x 24 Oil on Canvas hands down this one is my favourites! at least out of the ones i've uploaded so far it just makes me feel so many emotions idk if its the eyes or the smirk but it just makes me smile lol Ive come to find that i thoroughly thoroughly enjoy painting clouds I don't wanna call this roll safe thats just the name of the meme WHAT is a good name for this expression? because i'm drawing a blank I think this might be one of the last pieces i upload before the show, or probably one more BUT on to bigger things I really got real love for everyone that has helped spread and share my pictures and showing so much love because its honestly been insane, I still haven't figured out how to process it at all but i'm very appreciative and it just makes me wanna go super saiyan and go as hard as possible! I can't really say thank you enough I'm just really glad that the work resonates with the people and that this is only the beginning I have so much more to develop ( still not fully processing the love) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU and ART SHOW MARCH 31st WILMINGTON DELAWARE CHRIS WHITE GALLERY 701 N.
