Black Man in Hoodie Print

This portrait is a subtle commentary regarding the treatment of African American males, especially those wearing hoodies. The person depicted is looking down upon the viewer; this perspective was used because very few images, in general, have African Americans depicted in a position of authority. The facial expression is slightly ambiguous which leaves it up to the viewer to decide. The background color is one that is usually associated with something harmless and it is juxtaposed against a figure that some may regard as intimidating. So many instances have been in the news lately regarding injustice towards black males. Those, along with my own personal experiences, are the motivation behind this painting. The hope is to present the viewer with an image that may bring up certain biases in their mind, and then have them assess why it is that their thoughts go in that direction.
