EW, SN (2011) by Radcliffe Bailey Acrylic, glitter, and velvet on canvas

EW, SN reveals Radcliffe Bailey's signature layering of culturally resonant images—here, railroad tracks suggest the Underground Railroad while simultaneously referring to Bailey's father, who was a railroad engineer. The title refers to the Great Migration (1910-1970) when more than six million African Americans, including Bailey's own relatives, migrated from east to west and from south to north to pursue economic opportunity in industrial urban centers. The use of glitter with blue and black pigment suggest and Afrofuturistic cosmos that charts the course of ancestors along universal pathways of life.
