“Colored Only” is inspired by Gordon Parks’ photograph taken in Mobile, Alabama, a powerful image that documents the realities of segregation. The painting reimagines his lens on the era, carrying its weight into the 1960s, when the civil rights movement pushed those injustices into the national spotlight. It stands as both a tribute to Parks’ artistry and a reminder of the resilience and humanity captured in his work.
