Description
This work presents the beloved warrior images in his works. This may be interpreted as a self portrait of the artist. The red soldier in the painting raises his right arm high, perhaps celebrating victory or preparing to launch an attack, or symbolizing the black artist winning a place in the white dominated art world.
