This piece is called Scorched, it was amongst my first back after going most of 2023 without making a lot of my pieces and it took a long time to find it's home in my Fall collection; I hope you like it!

A digital abstract artwork in earthy tones. A dark burnt-orange backdrop layered with stagnant greens and flowing blues, creating a textured, almost geographical feel.

They hate an individual who realizes their power.

They FEAR a people who realize their power.

When are these corporations going to get it? They never truly had the power. The people will always have the power. They have one job, to make people happy.
People aren’t happy. And if the people are not happy, they will gladly destroy the source of their unhappiness.

We always will outnumber you.

“Bid ’Em In/Slave (Angie)” by Barkley L. Hendricks (American) - Oil and acrylic on canvas / 1973 - Sheldon Museum of Art (Lincoln, Nebraska) #WomenInArt #art #artText #artwork #BarkleyL.Hendricks #Hendricks #BarkleyHendricks #SheldonMuseumofArt #PortraitofaWoman #BlackArt #AfricanAmericanArtist
African American artist Barkley L. Hendricks created this 1973 full-length portrait of a Black woman standing against an unbroken pink field. Her skin is a warm coffee brown with subtle highlights along her shoulders, knees, and cheekbones. She wears a fitted white tank top printed with the word “SLAVE” across the chest, dark maroon shorts, and sleek knee-high black boots. Her arms are crossed; one leg angles forward so her weight sits on her back hip, projecting poise and refusal. A round afro frames her face. Large tinted sunglasses partially veil her eyes, yet her stance reads as unmistakably direct. The flat, shadowless background removes spatial cues, centering her presence. There are no props or context so that access begins with what she asserts and with what history inscribes upon Black women’s bodies.

The painting compresses centuries of commodification into the present tense. The title nods to “Bid ’Em In,” Oscar Brown Jr.’s searing performance of a slave auctioneer’s chant, a reminder that language itself once priced women’s lives. Hendricks seizes that history and counters it with Angie’s self-possession: crossed arms, planted feet, and cool fashion. His portraits, he said, were “about people that were part of my life… If they were political, it’s because they were a reflection of the culture we were drowning in.” 

Here, the politics arrive through clarity via the blunt word on the shirt colliding with a subject who will not bend to it. The pink field is both seductive and disarming, pulling our gaze to the body that history tried to name. Hendricks hallmark monochrome background, strips away distractions so that style, attitude, and dignity do the work of re-humanization. 

At over 6 feet tall, the canvas enforces a face-to-face encounter that museums long denied to Black women. Angie’s presence turns the auctioneer’s call inside out: the look, the stance, and the cool all bid us to witness not an object for sale, but a person on her own terms.
