What a delightful surprise to come across this incredible painting by
@greg_breda , shown above next to the still that inspired it of Tereek in
@feelingthrough . This painting is aptly titled "You'll be ok" after the line the Artie writes to Tereek at the climax of the film.
This painting is part of Greg Breda's solo exhibition "Still," which pays tribute to resilient characters in Black cinema. On display now at PATRON gallery in Chicago!
