Amy Sherald Instagram – 🎬New this week on Art21: Amy Sherald
“I think beautiful paintings are important,” says the artist. “I say figuration is like the soul food of art making, it’s what takes you back home and what you eat when you need comfort, and we all need that at some point.”
In this installment of Art21’s “Extended Play” digital series, Amy Sherald (@asherald) offers insights into what inspires her portraits: small moments of freedom, the exhilaration of childhood exploration, and commitments to land and to community.
