DescriptionBased on portraits of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery made by the artist on a traditional school folder. In an artist's statement, Martinez wrote: “With these works my intention is to cement these people within the context of my art at the same time memorializing them. In America’s history, only presidents and “important” people would have portraits painted of them, scenes cast as bronze sculpture or statues etc. They won’t do that for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery so I want to do it myself so that these happenings and people are not forgotten." - Martinez artist statementThis record has been reviewed by University Galleries staff but may be incomplete or contain errors.
