The Gong, Acrylic on canvas, 16x20 stretched canvas, painted and signed by me @qahutchins2 /@africanartofqahutchins2 yesterday. Leonard Percival Howell, one of the first black men to preach about the Rastafari movement, was also known as “the Gong” which is also short for Gangunguru Maragh. The first name, Gangunguru, meant in three words of the name: Gyan means filled with knowledge and also means wisdom, gun- talent, and guru means teacher or elder. Howell was also known as the First Rasta. #LeonardHowell #BlackArt #AfricanArt #TheGong #Rastafari #RastafariMovement #redgoldandgreen #jamaica #AfricanHistory #AfricanArtwork #acrylicpainting #acryliconcanvas https://www.instagram.com/p/BrndNsDHC5U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vje0xx6u2srl

I was having fun completing this painting after hours. It took me a while to come up with a title for the painting but I finally pulled it off. The 18 x 24 canvas acrylic painting of Eric Dolphy is titled, “The Way You Look Tonight”, named after the song from his live album, Eric Dolphy in Europe, Vol. 2. It was also one of the songs I was dancing to while completing the beautiful work of art. #BlackArt #BlackArtist #EricDolphy #EricDolphyinEurope #JazzMusic #saxophoneplayer #Dolphy #acrylicpainting #Saxophone #OutToLunch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7U_UaH-8A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x01tu6bmyjwe

My first art show today was a pretty great one. It was a bit stressful at first but after a while things went well with no problems. I was not only selling some of my artwork but i was also tell them the meaning behind some of my work (like the Chancellor Williams painting for example) and I was able to make sure that they were able to not only support my artwork but also appreciate it as well. I would like to thank the people that came to the art show. And to the people who were unable to show up don't worry, I still have some artwork that you can still be interested in and I got more painting that I plan to work on and I will definitely have another art show in the near future. #blackart #Supportblackartist #BlackArtist #Africanartwork #AfricanArt #artshow #supportblackart #BlackArtwork #blackartshow #HipHopArt #HipHopArtshow #chancellorwilliams #JohnColtrane https://www.instagram.com/p/BqV13faHRO6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aicxvf2lr5be

Another beautifully and perfectly finished 16x20 canvas painting has been made today. I call this one, Coltrane and Kuti, because not only are they two of my favorite saxophonists along with Eric Dolphy but also because Fela Kuti was inspired by John Coltrane among other jazz musicians and he would listen to him as well while also practicing his saxophone skills. #Blackart #Africanart #felakuti #FelaAnikulapoKuti #JohnWilliamColtrane #Trane #JohnColtrane #Kuti #Coltrane #BlueTrain #Africa #nigeria #waternogetenemy #yellowfever #Zombie #Jazz #afrobeats #BlackMusic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0fnoEnlgz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ihsx28z78gr3

Chancellor Williams the historian and author of The Destruction of Black Civilization, painted in watercolor on a 16x20 stretched canvas by me @qahutchins2/ @africanartofqahutchins2. The people, next to Chancellor Williams, in the painting are Piankhi, Shabaka and some of the other men planning for the third war against the Asian invaders to take back control of all Egypt, and Queen Nzinga with her spear while riding the horse at the bottom after the Pyramids of Giza. You can tell that these people came from the illustrations in the book by looking at them while reading the book and looking the way the illustrations look. #ChancellorWilliams #TheDestructionofBlackCivilization #BlackArt #AfricanArtwork #AfricanArt #BlackArtist #QueenNzinga #Shabaka #Napata #Piankhi #BlackEducation #mullatoproblems #AfricanHistory #panafricanflag #RedBlackandGreen #RBG https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwJ3d2nDKX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9d1fmgpbobal

Leave nothing white behind you. -Jean Jacques Dessalines Swear then to live free and independent and to prefer death to everything that would lead to replace you under the yoke; swear then to pursue for everlasting the traitors and enemies of your independence. -Jean-Jacques Dessalines Let the Irritated Genie possess all African men, women and children. -@qahutchins2 And the artwork is finally completed and finished. “Koupe Tet, Boule Kay”, painted, signed and titled by me @qahutchins2. It is made of watercolor paint on a 16x20 stretched canvas. The red and black flag was the Haitian flag that was made when Dessalines became the first ruler of Haiti being in 1805 under the constitution. The the two burning houses that are painted red, white and blue symbolizes the crakkkas from French who enslaved the Africans in Haiti prior to the Haitian Revolution. And the burning red, white and blue flag also symbolizes the French as well. #BlackArt #BlackArtwork #HaitianRevolution #africanart #BlackArtist #JeanJacquesDessalines #lettheirritatedgeniepossesallafricans #africanartwork #Dessalines #Haiti #koupetetboulekay https://www.instagram.com/p/BntpYfEjyGF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g971bv10pem9

Repost from my art page @africanartofqahutchins2 Now I have seen that some of you fear to go forward to fight for our king. If it were the brave days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye and Opuku Ware I, chiefs would not sit down to see their king taken without firing a shot. No white man could have dared to speak to the Chief of Asante in the way the governor spoke to you chiefs this morning. Is it true that the bravery of Asante is no more? I cannot believe it. It cannot be! I must say this: if you, the men of Asante, will not go forward, then we will. I shall call upon my fellow women. We will fight the white men. We will fight till the last of us falls on the battlefield. -Yaa Asantewaa Yaa Asantewaa: Queen Mother of Ejisu of the Asante Kingdom and Protector of the sacred Golden Stool, marker’d and painted in a 18x24 stretched canvas panel by @africanartofqahutchins2. #YaaAsantewaa #Asantekingdom #AfricanArt #BlackWombmanwednesday #Africanwomen #AfricanHistory #CanvasArtwork #Ghana #Ejisu #GoldenStool #africanpainting #Africanartwork #BlackArt

For hundreds of years, Blacks have been charging at the banners that are held by the European (Whites) matadors. Those banners have been represented by concepts such as democracy, capitalism, Marxism, religion, and education. The banners remained constant as long as Blacks were assets. However, with technology and worldwide industrialization on the rampage in a further exploitation of Africa's (Blacks') national consciousness, Blacks are now a threat and a liability to the White race. Therefore, the banner held by the matadors represent only one concept: genocide. -Dr. Bobby E. Wright Dr. Bobby E.
