a Cry for Justice
by Lorenzo Medrano
$1,995
Acrylic on canvas This was created during the civil disturbances in Chicago after the George Floyd unrest in 2020. The bold use of color—reds, oranges, greens, and blues—enhances the intensity, creating contrasts that draw attention to the expressions and postures of each figure. The tightly woven composition and repeated curves give the piece a sense of entanglement, symbolizing how the fight for justice is a shared and intertwined experience, affecting individuals and communities alike. This style, with its abstracted forms and emotional depth, serves as a powerful visual statement on themes of solidarity, strength, and the yearning for fairness and equality.
