Before
COVID-19 (long before), we loved Jesus art: Black, white, Asian, and
gay, created by artists such as
Lucas Cranach the Elder,
Warner E. Sallman,
Jacob Lawrence, and
others. This week's artist of the week,
Genesis Tramaine (b. Brooklyn), paints through the blended lens of being Black, Trans, and Christian. Reminiscent of Jean-Michel Basquiat's street style, this self-taught artist seeks to "restore ‘wholeness’ through faith." Represented by
Richard Beaver's Gallery,
Genesis Tramaine's religious art, is our
collector's tip of the week.
