"The Bars Eating Meeting" 2024, Acrylic and Crystals on Canvas. Original Painting size 60x72 (70x82 Framed)
Inspired by the 2010 Drake ft. Jayz song titled "Light Up". On this track, Jay-Z warms Drake of possible future obstacles and distractions that will arise on his climb to the top.
Now it's the year 2024 and it's seems like it wasn't just a song after all. It was more like a premonition that literally came true. The most recent example of this, is the battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. A battle which also inspired this Painting.
Another inspiration is from where JayZ received part of his inspiration; The Godfather.
If you're a fan of all of these things mentioned above, this piece will make alot of sense. Even if you aren't, there's many things to pay attention to as you scan across this painting. The subtle religious aspects. The recurring themes of DUALITY that appear in all of my recent works, etc.
Even the fact that the painting was inspired by the song "Light Up" and we have JayZ lighting up a cigar with Drake.
There's so much more i could say about this painting. I definitely didn't want to show a beef between any of these guys. I wanted it to look like a conversation that sparks curiosity through body language.
I hope i pulled that off!
