Turn Up
Turn Up
Emmett Louis Till inspired. I was watching a documentary a few years ago, ripped off the top of a pen, and got busy. We live in such different times, according to the media. Are they really as different as they would suggest? I don’t expect to sell this piece… and i’m not sure that i want to. It reminds me to try and remain humble about everything I appreciate. They: still killing niggas. Life is such a luxury when you have melanin, that most take for granted. (Me, being) Raised almost everywhere in Los Angeles county I see the parallels between now and the past… Lynching has simply transformed. This piece is actually two parts… Prey and Predator… The other canvas is finished just as crudely, the same size, though vertical in orientation. “Turn up” in this piece is to be personally interpreted. This isn’t a very big piece; but it’s symbolize is huge. I be like, “what in the entire fuck does turn up mean?”
(562) 607-2476 if interested, we can discuss terms &/or pricing… this piece has my literal tears on it; I say that to express: “I’m attached to my baby.” It not literally the price listed… that’s just how I feel.
