About The Work
Analogous Colors, Titus Kaphar's first work with Two Palms, portrays a woman whose face depicts a mixture of tenderness and worry as she pulls a child to her chest. Except the child is a void, cut from the work so the silhouette reveals the frame behind. An empty space where a body should be, laying bare the anxieties and horrors of raising a Black child in America. The image is a cropped version of a painting of the same title that the artist exhibited in his show "From a Tropical Space" at Gagosian Gallery in 2020. The painting was also on the cover of TIME Magazine's June 15th, 2020 issue reporting on the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent nationwide protests. Cropping the image for this work draws the viewer deeper into the woman's expression and heightens the emptiness of the missing child.
