"Free Kyle!" is a painting by Dave MacDowell that depicts a young man with blue eyes and a tear running down his cheek. The man is surrounded by chains that are breaking apart, symbolizing the end of his imprisonment. The fiery background suggests a struggle or hardship that the man has endured, and the overall composition emphasizes the themes of freedom and hope. The piece may be a commentary on the "Free Kyle Rittenhouse" movement, a political and social movement that emerged in the aftermath of the Kenosha shooting in 2020.
