Finally finished my 6 series paintings called EYE AM " MOOR", THAN U KNOW. size 26in x 20 in Acrylics + Marker on canvas. Each framed in black wood Priced as a series of paintings. DM for info. *will have prints of each piece as well. .. The series came about after looking at @asherald Work and researching Barkley Hendricks work. I wanted to try more subtle yet vivid images for my work. I still wrote on my piece but not as much. The main characters are flattened to the surface and yet decorated behind them is another style of paint. I wanted colorful backgrounds but intricate designs and flat images all in one frame. . The words to the top left say " Moor, More Muslim, Spain: insinuating the need for Muslim influence in a society thru art, architecture and spirituality like what the moors did in Spain. This was a very long process but I pushed myself to make them look simple and less tedious. . Each Black Muslim Moor image is not really facially recognizable and was taken from paintings done from that period on the clothing that they wore. I wanted to make the colors look flat yet Pop on the canvas. .. .The title refers to our Black Muslim heritage that we as a people all share but most of us don't know and was deliberately kept away from us in our public schools. . . .#moorsofspain #muslims #bkackmuslimspain #bilalian #khatees #nycartist #nycdesigner #KHALIDSABREE #anime #studiomuseum50years #kidult #swizzbeatz #jayz #qtiptheabstract #artcollectorsdubai #newyorkermagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nVaEMjVxe/?igshid=618enm8j83gv
