Art Seen: "We Are All Trayvon Martin"

This exhibit that we all saw as a class showed a collection of pieces by Rudy Shepherd. The portion that I personally liked the most was the wall featuring 24 watercolor paintings of prominent faces  that you might see in the news as of 2016. The reason I like these paintings the most was because of their unusual quality of design. The faces themselves were almost all completely recognizable, yet could be considered highly unrealistic and skewed. This apparent low quality of the paintings put a greater emphasis on the meaning and purpose behind the faces. The idea of content > quality is something that really intrigues me, as that is not something I have ever considered for my own work.
