The Blackbone - RJBLACKBONES

NOTES: The Black Bone is a painting of a couple overlooking the city skyline. This painting shows a black man clinging to his queen for dear life or, as he does life. In the style of Ernie Barnes, the elongated figures give the impression of him embracing her as his world, his black bone, and who has historically been the backbone of every struggle of her people. She is gently holding his head while looking to their future which, at first glance may be their immediate surroundings, until the moon reveals the world with a silhouette of Africa. Their fixation on what is ahead, unknown but all the while possible is intentionally turn away from the observation of us as observers for two possible reasons. We are not their focus and we are left to speculate if their facial features suggest uncertainty or faith..
