I went to Morgan State University undergrad until I did my 1st "Masterpiece" of a painting of Pastor Troy. Got ampd and experimented with grafitti in the painting studio. 3.5 GPA and needed only 6 credits to walk....got expelled for defacing State Property. So I had to finish at Bowie State University. Morgan fukked up...cause when I become famous...guess who is getting all the credit????
It ain't Morgan State
I am ready by Stella Jones Gallery and Overdue Recognition Art Gallery

Miami’s Underline park unveiled a giant sculpture by this renowned artist BY AMANDA ROSA MAY 24, 2023 4:30 AM
“Duality,” a sculpture by renowned artist Hank Willis Thomas, was unveiled at The Underline, a 10-mile linear park that runs beneath the Metrorail, on May 17. COURTESY OF FRIENDS OF THE UNDERLINE
A giant arm in downtown Miami is wishing everybody peace. Or victory. Or it’s just counting to the number two. “Duality,” a 9-foot-tall bronze sculpture of an outstretched arm holding up two fingers, can mean anything. It depends on how you look at it. The sculpture was unveiled last week as part of the growing public art collection at The Underline, a $140 million linear park and urban walking trail that stretches beneath Miami’s Metrorail. “Duality” was created by Hank Willis Thomas, a renowned conceptual artist known for tackling themes of race, identity and popular culture. His most famed works include giant afro hair picks and “The Embrace,” a 20-foot tall monument of Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King’s arms hugging that sparked controversy and intrigue online. Thomas’ sculpture, which is modeled after his own arm, is located in the park’s completed Brickell Backyard section on the corner of SW 7th Street and SW 1st Court. The installation was funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Friends of The Underline board member Debi Braman Wechsler and The Braman Family Foundation.

A crowd listens to a talk between Knight Foundation vice president of arts Victoria Rogers and artist Hank Willis Thomas at the unveiling of his sculpture “Duality” at The Underline on May 17. Courtesy of The Underline Meg Daly, the founder of Friends of The Underline who came up with the idea for the linear park, said she especially loves how “Duality” can be interpreted in many ways by anyone who sees it. For her, it’s a ‘70s peace sign. For Gen Z, it’s a pose from Instagram. “We’re just so appreciative that we found this art for this place,” Daly said. “Believe me, we looked at so many options. When you know you’ve found the magic, it’s irrefutable. It’s a winner.” “Duality” is the second permanent artwork at The Underline along with Cara Despain’s “Water/Tables,” a sculpture that doubles as a playable ping pong table. Other temporary works include a funky sculpture garden by Typoe, a Plato’s Cave-inspired mural by Edny Jean Joseph and spray painted birds and coral by Jennifer Basile. Thomas made the sculpture last year for an exhibition that explored multifaceted ways of viewing reality, he said. Instead of sticking to one specific meaning, “Duality” invites multiple meanings. It reflects how people can view the same symbol from different perspectives. At the unveiling, Thomas said he was excited to see his artwork at the start of The Underline’s 10-mile journey. “I hope [viewers] take away the importance of creating and exhibiting art in public space,” he said. “The power of The Underline is that this space that’s existed for so long in public, because of the introduction of art and cultural programming and landscaping, is now beautiful, inviting, exciting and cool.”

Thomas’ sculpture reflects how the same symbol can be interpreted in different ways. Courtesy of The Underline Just a few years ago, there was practically nothing underneath the shadow of the Metrorail. Now, The Underline boasts artwork, walking paths, outdoor gyms, native plants and tables to play domino. The whole project will stretch a total of 10 miles once construction is completed. Finding the right sculpture for the part of The Underline that meets the Miami River was like watching “the stars align,” Daly said. For three years, The Underline team looked for a unifying artwork that symbolized connecting communities. “Duality” was perfect, she said. Daly said she hopes artwork like “Duality” encourages people to keep coming back to The Underline for more. “When you’re in a public space, there’s a sense of passing through,” Daly said. “I think art is a moment for pause.” This story was produced with financial support from The Pérez Family Foundation, in partnership with Journalism Funding Partners, as part of an independent journalism fellowship program.

I ain't gon lie...I abhor art from black artists that is happy. My Grants used to get me to try and paint images of happiness. But I never really had anything to be happy of. Content maybe...but happiness? Naw...I like my art to empathic to my life and sympathetic to my struggle as a black man. It's a nice sculpture and executed well...but the positive vibes it gives me...bothers me.I try not to post everything I see but this article supports Black art excellence!
