Movers Of The Past, Shakers Of Tomorrow Sculpture

Movers of the Past, Shakers of Tomorrow, was created in response to dialogues and workshops I had with community groups in the City of London. We spoke about people of colour who are working towards racial justice and shaking up the status quo in our society. Two names that were mentioned were Marcus Rashford, for his humanitarian work against child poverty and hunger, and Micheala Cole for being unapologetically herself and advocating for LGBTQ rights. In addition to this, two more names were given for people who helped to shape our world and tirelessly fought for racial justice, Nelson Mandela and Maya Angelou. I decided to section the globe into four and paint their portraits in black and white, set against the colourful background of the native flags of the painted individuals, rather than the flags of the countries in which they now reside. Furthermore, I took the approach of colour blocking the flags in an abstract way, which is less prominent but still powerful enough to honour their roots.
