Rosie No. 4" by Tim Okamura (Canadian) - Oil on canvas / 2018 - Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) #womeninart #art #oilpainting #TimOkamura #Okamura #womensart #womanpower #rosietheriveter #StoneCenter #portraitofawoman #strongwoman #BlackWoman
Haitian model, singer, and author Tico Armand posed for this inspirational depiction of a strong Black woman as a modern "Rosie the Riveter" icon of the "We Can Do It!" female empowerment poster from WWII. She is flexing her right arm, displaying strength and determination. Her left hand rolls up the right sleeve, emphasizing her muscular bicep. Her sinewy and "battle-scarred" skin is rendered in warm, rich browns and tans with highlights that capture the light beautifully. Okamura uses subtle variations to define the planes of her face and body. She's wearing a check-patterned denim shirt, and her head is adorned by a vibrant, bold red headwrap with a complex pattern of geometric designs. The background is abstract and expressionistic, composed of swirling brushstrokes in shades of dark blue, green, and hints of brown. It gives a sense of depth and movement, without defining a specific setting. The lower portion of the background drips white and beige paint, creating a sense of raw, unfinished energy. Contemporary Canadian painter Tim Okamura is a Brooklyn-based artist renowned for his powerful portraits of women, particularly Black women. Through these portraits, he explores themes of identity, urban environments, and contemporary iconography. Okamura, originally from Canada, created a distinctive painting style. It combines traditional academic figure painting with elements of collage, spray paint, and mixed media. His work often features a single female figure in a commanding pose -- like Rosie -- with urban motifs. Okamura’s decision to focus on underrepresented subjects comes from a desire to learn about communities different from his own. He wants to connect with these communities. He also aims to challenge his own preconceived notions about identity.
