About the Item
"Every Time I Feel the Spirit" is a collage / painting created from acrylic and collage on leather mounted on MDF panel with predominant blue. The work itself is 24" x 22", framed to 24.5" x 22.5" in a narrow, simple dark wooden frame. It includes several photograph of Black figures, including Egyptian King Tut. It is signed and dated along the lower edge. This is one of a series of four works -- see image gallery for additional works in the series.

PROVENANCE: Exhibited in "Portals + Revelations: Richard J. Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, PA, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022 & "And the Beat Goes On," Suzanne H. Arnold Gallery, Lebanon Valley College, Annville, PA, Sept - Oct 2022.
"Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson
