One of the key goals that drives @otis_quaicoe's artistic practice is accurately representing the inner strength that exudes from each of his subjects.⁣ ⁣ You’ll notice that in some of his portraits of men, he also intentionally injects his canvases with bold colors or motifs that society has – for ages – brainwashed us into thinking are not masculine. Pssht. It doesn’t have to be that way.⁣ ⁣ Look at any one of the Ghana-born, Portland-based artist’s deeply compelling portraits and waves of creative reverence will crash down upon you. He shakes up his storytelling in a way that commands attention and admiration.⁣ ⁣ Painting discovered via @colossal.⁣ …⁣ posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CI2oo3NjW-E/

Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe's 2019 oil painting, "Lady on Blue Couch," is reproduced from 'Black American Portraits,' the highly-anticipated new release from @delmonico_books and @lacma Presenting more than 140 works from the museum's collection, this is a celebratory, kaleidoscopic chronicle of the many ways in which Black Americans have used portraiture to envision themselves over the past two centuries—from the earliest aspects of the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter. "Each time you return to this volume," Naima J. Keith writes, "we challenge you to interrogate the systems and injustices that have made—and continue to make—this work necessary and important. We hope the myriad of diverse and moving pieces allows you to imagine a future where Black excellence and joy are not simply responses to the brutal and needless murder of Black people, but standard features of our collective daily existence."⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Christine Y. Kim and Myrtle Elizabeth Andrews. Forewords by Mary Schmidt Campbell and Michael Govan. Text by Hilton Als, Bridget R. Cooks, Ilene Susan Fort, Dhyandra Lawson, Jeffrey C. Stewart. Afterword by Naima J. Keith.⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkibio.⁠ ⁠ #blackamericanportraits @cyknycla @lazyt4road @hilton.als @dhyandra @jeffreycstewart @naimajoy⁠ ⁠ #otisquaicoe @otis_quaicoe https://www.instagram.com/p/CnC6EkEJYxi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
