Instagramさんのインスタグラム写真 - (InstagramInstagram)「Artist Malik Roberts’ (@malik.roberts.art) deconstructed portraits explore the relationship between visual culture and today’s reality, addressing contemporary social issues that directly and disproportionally affect the Black community.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “My work highlights us as Black people, shows the glory in our skin and spirit, and celebrates everything that embodies our culture. It also gives us a chance to reflect on some of the hardships that we had to endure and how through all that we still hold our heads high. I take time trying to understand the subjects in my paintings: Who is this person? Where do they come from? Why are they here?”⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “I believe our story is vital to the story of this country. Telling these stories gives people a chance to have a glance into our lives and hopefully come out a bit enlightened. In highlighting our stories, I feel it helps the youth feel empowered within themselves, knowing that there’s no limit to being Black. I don’t shy away from my reality in my work. I feel it’s important as an artist to speak to the world around you, and this is the world I live in daily.”⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #ShareBlackStories⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Art by @malik.roberts.art」8月21日 2時47分
