The Reformation 2022

"The Reformation" (2022) by Lanise Howard depicts four Black women standing in a field against a mountainous backdrop. Dressed in white jumpsuits and with a range of postures, the women’s confident presence and gaze suggests a collective strength and shared identity. The painting's vibrant color palette and detailed brushwork create a sense of realism and immediacy, highlighting the beauty and individuality of the subjects. Howard’s work often explores themes of Black female identity, empowerment, and representation.
