"DR. MAYA ANGELOU"

by Shawn Michael Warren

"It has been a tremendous honor to develop this monument of one of the most graceful black women to walk the earth." —Shawn Michael Warren

Incorporating his classical training in oil painting, @Artsy says Shawn Michael Warren's narrative work "brings attention and awareness to events and individuals—past and present—that have affected and shaped cultures and civilizations...," sometimes making us uncomfortable or highlighting the experiences of the underrepresented. When @Artnet asked how you "honor the legacy of a figure as towering as the late poet DrMayaAngelou ?" @BrandedArts answer was to work with South Central LA's Dr. Maya Angelou High School and bring together more than two dozen artists in 2019 for the week-long Maya Angelou Mural Festival. Warren's beautiful installation, comprised of 42 pieces of fabric, is on E 54th St.  @warrenart/
