Sax Berlin
TAKE A KNEEL FOR EQUALITEE. Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting

2020

About the Item

In classic Sharp Edge 21st Century New York Style, Berlin acknowledges and shows solidarity with the world mourning the cruel death of George Floyd in the United States, and starting to come together to try to make sense of systemic racism. Black Lives Matter but the answer doesn’t lie in rioting, violence and looting and Berlin volunteers his solution; it’s a Spartacus style moment in history, collective responsibility. This piece fits within the radius of other pieces in the series, for example “Stamp Out Racism, We All from Africa”, and highlights Berlins overarching humanity & love of his fellow man. Acrylic and crushed marble on canvas 48" x 36"

Holy Moly Her Earrings Icier Than Bolis - Figurative Los Angeles Art Bold
By Danny Brown
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Danny Brown is a first-generation American urban artist born in Los Angeles. His parents relocated their family from Oaxaca, Mexico in search of opportunity in the United States. Danny Brown’s artworks allocate an intrinsic connection between himself and the diverse communities occupying Los Angeles. Brown combines art history, streetwear trends, and pop art symbolism to create a signature style with a soft and fun, yet edgy character. This original acrylic and oil pastel painting on canvas measures 17 inches square. This artwork is not framed. This painting is signed by Brown on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Danny Brown uses his interest in fashion as well as his knowledge of color, design, and culture as inspiration for his paintings. The loss of friends to violence and incarceration, combined with the loss of a family member to gang violence pushed Brown to use art as a source of therapy and to project a positive inspiring image for his community. Brown’s art coalesces youth culture, art history, fashion and American consumerism and melds them all to create his unique style. Instantly relatable and recognizable, his cathartic paintings represent contemporary issues as well as a demographic that is traditionally underrepresented in fine art. His works speak to young Americans and inspire a whole new generation of art collectors and admirers. Since 2016, Daniel Brown has exhibited at MoMA PS1 in New York City, and various galleries in Los Angeles.
