‘The Broken Black Fist Afro Comb’, etched on retired aluminum cooking pot, 315mm diameters, 2020.
I am selling this art piece for 600 euros, and a portion of proceeds will be donated to Black Lives Matter @blklivesmatter.
…This cooking pot was crooked and dented, scratched quite badly, at first I thought of fixing and repainting, but I decided to leave it as is, so it would represent the pain and the dark history of black people which they are still living through.
The quote is from Angela Davis, one of the most powerful one that hit my heart. As I am an Asian, it’s not just a couple of times that I’ve been “targeted” in various countries, so I knew this fear.
I added a color graphic (black, brown, red, yellow, and white) filled with enamel paint. It visually makes you imagine directly when your color IS the target.
