This poster featuring Analogous Colors (2020) was produced in 2021, in conjunction with Titus Kaphar: From a Tropical Space at Gagosian, West 21st Street, New York. The June 15, 2020, issue of Time—which included an article on the protests sparked by George Floyd’s killing at the hands of Minneapolis police—featured the painting on its cover, as well as a written piece by the artist to accompany the work, titled “I cannot sell you this painting.” The painting depicts a Black mother holding her child, represented by an empty silhouette. “In her expression, I see the Black mothers who are unseen, and rendered helpless in this fury against their babies,” writes Kaphar.
