Kajahl’s portraits combine iconography from African, Asian, European, and Pre-Columbian traditions. His process entails sifting through history, both amassing and archiving imagery ranging from ancient art, vintage ethnography, historical portraiture and landscape.

Why don't visual artists get royalties from their work? This is one of the few issues The Dean Collection is focusing on. @THEREALSWIZZZ talks about this and more in his @TEDTalks on ways to support and celebrate living artists. Watch the full clip ⬇️ ted.com/talks/swizz_beatz_ho…

Lewis' work creates a visual cacophony, compelling the viewer to look closer, to hone in on distinct pockets of the canvas, and in the process, uncover aspects of the narrative that are seemingly, and perhaps willingly, overlooked.
