That’s All Folks 2019

Kayla Mahaffey’s 2019 painting, “That’s All Folks,” is a vibrant and playful piece that blends pop culture with contemporary portraiture. The artwork features a young Black woman, adorned with a cartoonish Road Runner hat, while a cartoon Pig, reminiscent of Porky Pig, appears in the background. This juxtaposition of cartoon and human elements creates a whimsical and thought-provoking narrative, exploring themes of identity, race, and popular culture. The use of bold colors, cartoonish elements, and exaggerated features adds to the artwork's playful energy and whimsical appeal, making it a standout work in the contemporary art scene.
