"Noon, After R̶i̶c̶h̶t̶e̶r̶ #JackWhitten", #OilonCanvas. #NewAbstraction #AbstractExpressionism #AbstraktesBild . After…” is to create a painting in the style of an artist from before... #Repost ... This is a smaller painting using similar technique to Gerhard Richter, and Jack Whitten - decades before, without the same recognition until later life, who fearlessly experimented with painting as an expression of freedom during the #CivilRightsMovement . It says a lot about the #artworld and this world that Whitten's paintings are not widely seen as the precursor for Richter's more celebrated work. #Respect to a #LateModernMaster #painter . I vividly remember taking my dad to see Richter, and how he loved it. He'd have loved to see Whitten's paintings too. Oil on Canvas, 40 cm by 40 cm, 2015. The intention is to explore the act of #painting . "Noon" is the sound of "n" in #Arabic . #Identity 👌🏾
