Sad times - George Floyd and the Riots

The recent death of George Floyd and the USA riots made me very very sad. Social media brought the injustice, the callousness and the racism straight into our living rooms, into our bedrooms all around the world and it was a very sorry sight. This 'angoisse' led to the creation of this painting, 'He Can't Breathe'. The body gesture of my model shows the despair and hopelessness of our times. We should not be fighting these same battles, decades and centuries after. Black Lives Matter.
