Judith and Holofernes, Kehinde Wiley, 2012 |
-“She sees you seeing her. The hand on the hip is not passive, her gaze is not passive. She looks strong!” -Amy Sherald
-“I am interested in evolution within my thinking,” “I am not interested in the evolution of my paint. If I made buttery, thick paintings, there would be critics of that. You just have to proceed.” -Kehinde Wiley
During Jaz Graf's virtual presentation, she was presenting her artwork and explaining the meaning or how she got inspired in order to create her pieces. She presents her art which is based on her background. After the death of her grandmother she wanted to discover her background, her mother, grandmother’s history. For Graf finding her identity was important to her, she creates her own paper based on Thai monk’s robes. Her telling her history and the methods she uses it’s really inspirational not all artists want to find about their background but their find their own identity in their painting
