Artist: @art.bydev Title: Old Skool 16” x 20” Watercolor on canvas . . Have you been blindfolded before? . .  "I wanted to express the meaning and significance a black woman’s natural hair means. Years of judgment Afro hair got but also the power it held. Going in with a white gel pen on the watercolor in the hair creating a movement affect. Giving the hair shape and movement allowing the painting to speak for itself. This piece also resonated with me because I myself wear my natural hair and it took me years to appreciate it." . . #artbydev #devinbrown #watercoloroncanvas #watercolorart #watercolorpainting #blackhairart #curlyhairart #afroart #naturalart #handart #handmade #blackart #blindfold #naturalhair #weknowcity https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8Zd9-HoPP/?igshid=1hvsou4o0daws

Artist: @art.bydev <--follow Title: A Woman’s Oppression  8”x8” Oil on canvas . . Tell us what you think about his one below. . . "Through this painting, I wanted to depict the beauty, pain, struggle and oppression of the black woman. Black women have been oppressed throughout the years not only physically but mentally in society. As you can see, I used my pallet knives and brushes to build up a story. The background colors depicting police lights. Also the shadow hands covering her mouth expressing how she has no say. Showing that even in the worst case scenarios, society has blocked her from seeking justice for her community." . . #oppressionart #blackshades #artbydev #devinbrown #coveryourmouth #handart #handmade #blackart #oilart #oiloncanvas #goldheadwrap #secrets #holdmeback #justiceforall #artforjustice #blackwomenart #artbydev #devinbrown #weknowcity https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3NeSvHsXS/?igshid=8lmfi4k2whtd
