"First Birthday Party" (2020) by Jammie Holmes is a vibrant painting depicting a Black man in a pink inflatable pool. The image evokes a sense of childhood joy and playfulness, juxtaposed with the stark blue background. The man's relaxed pose and the presence of animals around the pool suggest a carefree, almost idyllic setting. The artwork explores themes of race, identity, and the pursuit of happiness in a world that often marginalizes Black experiences.
