The #murals of Rob Gibbs have brought a dignity to the city by reconnecting politics and empathy to public art. But while the accolades of his work include words like “powerful,” “intimate” and concepts of anger, pain and healing, for me I also deeply appreciate how he always – ALWAYS – includes grouches of humor. Many of us hold stories of survival within us. The power to persevere is a process of forgiveness, patience, and perseverance, among other qualities. And one of the “other qualities” is laughter. The power of comedy to help us heal is often overlooked or misused. I think, within his murals, Mr. Gibbs always applies whimsy it masterfully. Humans find things funny from a distance. When we have space, and look upon something from far away – whether distant in s time or literal space – it becomes more humorous. When you see someone trip from across the street it is silly, even though when it is next to us we feel concern. When we think of our past we often laugh at our own absurdity, even though it might have been Excutive in while we lived the melodrama. Distance helps us find humor. This fact of humor also works in reverse. When things are framed with a touch of satire of slapstick, our mind steps back a little. This distance is useful for more than evoking a few grins; it also opens up space to heal, to learn, and to analyze with fresh eyes. This is why @problak’s application of humor is so precious. Yes there is struggle and pain and conflict in his work. But it’s this humor that brings the challenge and charm of his pieces alive. ▫️ #madisonpark #problak #muralsforthemovement #roxbury #roxburyrenaissance #graffiti #murals #muralist #urbanart #boston #akaXN #TheRealXN (at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaN39tjpfQ/?igshid=4pxo697tcbe5
