Jerry Lynn commemorates historical and contemporary Black figures in his powerful paintings. By infusing historical imagery into his contemporary pieces, he expresses how art history connects with Black identity, beauty, and self-esteem. Lynn “captures the character, life, and legacy of his subjects through an emotive, expressionist background and blending in scenes and objects, sometimes barely visible, throughout the canvas.”
