Insert Name *here*

This piece is called “insert name* here”, which could be considered as quite morbid. But the reality is that we all know someone who looks like this, either a brother, father, uncle etc. My intention with this painting was to depict an unnamed man who everyone could relate to. This is as real as it gets for me, at least. I feel like I’m screaming at the top of my lungs but no one can seemingly hear me.

“The ultimate measure of a person is not where one stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where one stands in times of challenge and controversy.”
