Title
Madonna of the Nappyhead Christ
Artist
David G Wilson
Medium
Painting - Oil On Burlap
Description
This painting was on loan to The Museum Of The Bible in Washington DC from November 2017 to November 2018. The Madonnas of Leonardo and Raphael have always been an attraction for me and I have sought to represent the Madonna in a plethora of ways that are unique to my style of painting. This one seeks to depict the Madonna from an Afrocentric perspective bearing in mind the Black Madonna of Cracow, Poland. In order to Africanize her and make her relavant to the African experience, I have portrayed her in the form of inanimate objects which epitomizes the treatment of African people, during slavery, bought and sold as merchandise on both sides of the Atlantic.
