Description

Four dapper young chaps. Six pools of water. A cozy bedroom... and a hole in the roof. Nelson’s provocative painting, “A Hole in the Roof” creates a space for a conversation full of hyperbole. As the viewer’s focus flows across the beautifully rendered trappings in the scene (the framed portraits, wooden dressers and trunk, the hat box, Persian rugs, the bowl and pitcher…), the eye is pulled ever so strongly toward the bewildered expressions of the four boys, and the gaping hole in the roof.

As the concerned young lads gaze upward, Nelson invites the viewer to meditate upon the age old question, “Why are we here?” and what is it about the light that commands our attention? “A Hole in the Roof” from Nelson’s Harlem Renaissance Series is a conversation about the absurdity and the profundity of life.

Kadir Nelson

Kadir Nelson began drawing at the age of three, displaying artistic acumen before he could write or spell. “I have always been an artist,” Nelson explains. “It’s part of my DNA.” At age eleven, Kadir Nelson was apprenticed by his uncle Michael Morris, an artist and art instructor. “My uncle gave me my foundation in art,” says the artist. Kadir Nelson experimented with several different media and later began painting in oils at the age of sixteen under the encouragement and tutelage of both his uncle and high school art teacher. He began entering his paintings in art competitions and ultimately won an art scholarship to study at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Upon graduating with honors, Kadir Nelson began his professional career as an artist, publishing his work and receiving commissions from publishers and production studios such as Dreamworks, Sports Illustrated, Coca-Cola, The New York Times and Major League Baseball, among others.
