Jammie Holmes' "Grandmother at the White House" (2019) depicts a seated woman with a faceless, black silhouette, viewed from behind, sitting before a simplified depiction of the White House. The painting explores themes of race and social justice in contemporary America, prompting reflection on the power dynamics and historical injustices faced by Black Americans. The artist uses a bold and expressive style with large, abstract brushstrokes and contrasting colors, creating a powerful and thought-provoking image.
