Echoes of Change: A Portrait of Martin Luther King
Joshua M, Year 12
Our very own Year 12 General Visual Art student Josh M has been selected as part of this year's The West Australian Pulse for his painting ‘Echoes of Change’. This is a wonderful achievement for Josh.
The West Australian Pulse is an annual exhibition showcase that celebrates young artists from schools all across Western Australia, showcasing the pulse of young people who will influence, empower and shape the world we live in. Josh's work and other selected works provide a window into young people’s private, social and artistic concerns. It is an inspiring, rewarding and insightful look at the world through the minds of WA’s most talented young artists.
The exhibition will be held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 6th April - 29th July 2024. More information can be found on the Art Gallery of WA website.
About the work:
Drawing inspiration from Kehinde Wiley's influential portrait style, Josh approached the portrayal of Martin Luther King in "Echoes of Change." In the background, Josh has embedded newspaper articles about King's activism to represent the historical context of his fight for justice. His artwork highlights the urgent message of the ongoing struggle for equality.
