Michelangelo Lovelace, Sr.
"The paintings I produce are visual documentation of life in many of Americas inner cities. I continue to explore concerns of cultural, racial, and economic tensions between the haves and have-nots with the overall theme being the community. My paintings depict what it is really like living in a community where anything can happen at any time, and where life can often be fast, poor, and short. My paintings deal with many of the issues that affect poor inner-city communities in the United States: issues like poverty, crime, drugs, education, police brutality, health care, and other day-to-day happenings."
