The Golliwogs series of oil paintings on printed paper is so personal to me, because of how they originated.
I was called “golliwog’ on a street in London and then started painting golliwog images on historical prints to disrupt the status quo, create space for (re)thinking history and race, and to reclaim cultural narratives.
As recently shown at SRISA Gallery, in Florence, Italy.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.
