Beloved ikardgallery Black women are the canaries36x24 mixed media (oil, metal, wood) on gallery wrapped canvas This painting is inspired by Toni Morrisons novel Beloved. The painting is my rendition of the character Beloved. I wanted to represent all elements of her trauma and heartbreaking beauty. Look closely and youll see 124, a number of great significance in the narrative. This painting should feel haunting because it is indeed the painting of a ghost.
