About The Artwork
Angela Yvonne Davis FUZZY HAIR WANTED • FBI Poster 867.615 G • Political Activist, Academic, Feminist, Accomplished Author, Black Female Icon. Professor emerita of the University of California. Long time fighter for rights, justice, equality, and anti-racist campaigner as well as campaigned for prison reform in America. I find her such an empowering and intriguing figure and when my beautiful Artist friend - Dinarta suggested her as my next subject, it was an immediate "Yes! ANGELA!!!" Stylistically, I went for what's becoming my more iconic mixed media artistic style of late, mixing a bit of everything in this piece --- charcoal, pencils, ink, newspaper cutouts even! ...and embellished with gold and silver acrylic highlights! The Red acrylic really brings Angela to life, and symbolizes the blood... spilled blood of so many black people over more than 400 years of slavery and oppression, a plight which sadly in 2020, is still an ongoing struggle with the wanton killings of innocent black people like Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the paralysis of Jacob Blake more recently. The struggle continues.... I use my art as a means to get people talking, keep awareness up. Artivism has always been with us. Artivism will always be with us. Paulie X

Paulie is a London-based British-Nigerian, self-taught artist specialising in the study of human emotion in portraiture & figurative expression and symbolism in art. He has been making art since he was about 6 years old... & then took a long 14 year break from it at the age of 13. For the last 7 years since his artistic rejuvenation, he has been (and still is) particularly fascinated in the power and inscrutability of human inexpression. He paints captivating portraits of people, and carefully selects subjects that leave the interpretation of the thoughts, state of mind, & expression of the subjects open to the interpretation of the observer. He paints in several media and has done a lot of art in digital media (with a Microsoft Surface pen), as well as painting and sketching in more traditional media -- charcoal, graphite, and acrylic paints in a wide-ranging and varied set of expressive styles. Artist quote: "I'm excited to show you the beauty I see! • Art isn't what you see; Art is what you make others see!"
