Ajamu Kojo / Walker, "A Portrait of George Washington & His Slaves"

$30,000.00

Oil and Tempera, with 24k gold leaf on linen (2023)
32x32x1.25 in.

Suspended in darkness, Washington’s dentures become an indictment and a prophecy. Crafted through the labor of enslaved people, they expose a nation built on bondage while hinting at deliverance through truth. By isolating the object, the painting turns myth into evidence and silence into reckoning.
