About The Artwork
When I was in elementary school I had the chance to meet Bayard Rustin, who was Martin Luther King's right-hand man in the civil rights revolution. He had come because I had written an essay about hunger in Africa. I was so small back then, I didn't speak well, and I had no clue about emotions, so I didn't understand why all these people descended on my little school and made a big deal about it. Too bad I don't have that essay, but I try to imagine what all those folks felt and why they thought it was important to come and meet me. I am a literal, black-and-white thinker, so I really didn't understand what racism was. I still don't understand the concept: why anyone is treated differently because of skin tone? Heck, the skin tones I use in painting are alien and I still like it. Maybe that's why I painted him on an alien planet!!! You can see a dozen different colors in MLK's skin in this portrait. I hope I captured his essence and the feeling that his message is transcendent.

United States
Los Angeles based artist, James Frost, creates works of magical realism focusing on portraits, animals, and abstracts. James prefers to work with oils in the classical fat-over-lean style made popular by 15th century artists. The eternal and dynamic qualities of time and space, the terrifying oceans, and peaceful mystery of forests are strong inspirations for him. As an emerging artist in 2023, James continues to advance his craft, venturing into new realms though using classical techniques. His storytelling ability through painting can be described as literal and genuine, and much can be interpreted from his unique designs. His subjects are usually solitary and bold, leading the viewer on an unexpected journey.
