"Icon VII" - Contemporary Realism - Georgio de Chirico

2016-2017

"My Blue Peace" features hues of orange, blue and yellow. 24 by 20 inches framed Sachi Rome is inspired by the works of Gerhard Richter, Deborah Dancy, Ed Clark, M.

Utilizing expressive mark making, movement and texture through an experimental use of tools and materials, she creates a visual dialogue that explores spaces for Black people to exist without fear. Connections between identity, memory and African spirituality are entry points for creating a protected and safe space, free from the contrived world that fights to sustain the deception that Black bodies are a threat, and thus unworthy of peaceful existence.

What are people's criteria for judging beauty? A beautiful face? A different existence? A feeling of pleasure? Or just follow what others say and make yourself feel the same way? A woman with a slender body but an ugly face, do you think she is beautiful? A girl with a beautiful appearance but a heart like a scorpion, do you think she is beautiful? An ugly but kind-hearted girl, do you think she is beautiful? What is it that blurs the eyes of human beings and makes people's judgments of beauty vary widely? The painting use knife...
