Bees & Butterflies (The Legacy of Muhammad Ali)
This piece was on display at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY at the 68th Annual Finger Lakes Exhibition until August 6th, 2023
The painting captures the spirit of the Greatest Of All Time, Muhammad Ali, in abstract form. The vibrant and energetic brush strokes are intertwined with the warm colors of the background, creating a harmonious and unified composition. The abstracted imagery captures the essence of Ali, with movement that seems to extend beyond the canvas itself. The powerful brush strokes convey Ali’s strength and determination, while the bright tones exhibit the energy of the greatest champion that ever lived. In 1987 I had a chance opportunity to meet Muhammad Ali and I still hold that autograph, and the time that I spent with him close to my heart. The painting is dominated by bold, geometric shapes, and abstract symbols that represent the memories of the artist as well as the indigenous memories of a people tied to the American experience. A prominent symbol used in this series of paintings is the abstract elephant, which alludes to power, resilience, and most importantly the memory of the elephant.
