“I’ve always loved creating a narrative with my work, and as we all lived through the pandemic as it gained momentum, each painting I created began to tell a visual story, historical documents on canvases that chronicled the emotional, political, and social pulse of the world in real time as we all lived through it.” -Kadir Nelson
As accomplished award-winning illustrator, painter, and author, Kadir Nelson is one of the most celebrated visual commentators of our time. His monumental, humanistic artworks appear on the covers and pages of popular magazines and books, and on posters, postage stamps and album covers, inspired by life’s large and small moments, by the complexities of American history, and by the African American experience, which he shares prominently and with dignity in his art.
