Philadelphia based artist Tayana Fazlalizadeh recently released this piece entitled “Victim of American Fear (Inspired by Oscar Grant)” on her blog. The painting was inspired by the recent sentencing of Johannes Mehserle for the shooting of Oscar Grant. The artist notes this piece “will possibly lead itself into being a series.” I’d love to see more. She is wicked with oil painting. More work like this can quickly turn despair into hope.
