Let's Party 1980

The work features a group of Black individuals, their silhouettes outlined in black, and juxtaposed against a background of bright, bold colors, representing the joy and vibrancy of community and celebration. Honeywood's signature style, characterized by bold colors and geometric shapes, captures the essence of Black joy and togetherness.
