@erniebarnesofficial As we join the @nccueagle Family for Saturday’s game, we share Barnes’ painting “Homecoming” that vividly captures the spirit, energy and pride of this weekend.

Barnes said this painting “shows the intersection of Pettigrew Street and Roxboro Road (15-501) in Durham, where I used to experience the band turn from downtown and into the Black business and residential community. The energy changed.”

”Homecoming” is a tribute to the powerful energy and rhythm that #HBCU marching bands bring to college life and the community.

Barnes chose the vibrant colors and dynamic movement to reflect the excitement and unity that homecoming weekend brings — a time when past and present generations come together to celebrate tradition.

This powerful painting is now on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in the “Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture” exhibition.

Check out the painting “Homecoming” in person if you’re in the California Bay Area, as it’s on view now through February 20, 2025.

Framable print available on our website. Link in bio!

How many artists have had to deal with this after a commissioned project? I was working on a case today where a brand was refusing to compensate and artist for their work on a project. The best thing to do (if you don’t have a #JamesEvans) is to fully understand the parameters of the deal. Remember this is #ArtBusiness and it’s two sides to everything! • Have you ever been in this type of situation? Would love to hear your thoughts? #GoodTimes • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Inspiring #Art #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #ArtMarket #ContemporaryPainting #CollectArt #ContemporaryArtCollectors #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #ShotOniPhone #ContemporaryArtist #ArtistsOnInstagram #ErnieBarnes https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EmO_dn0ps/?igshid=fnhewpfrhk0f

🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #Artist: #JeanMichelBasquiat #Artwork: Beat Bop. Test Pressing, Version One, Volume One • Read my brother @jefword's story in @wax_poetics about hanging and creating with Basquiat: Reposted from @jefword That time me and #Basquiat were hanging out making beats and doodling with a magic marker on a bedsheet hanging on a wall at the studio. ✊🏾💯 Taken from the Wax Poetics article "Basquiat In The Place To Be" "So he comes up a couple other times to hang out, and one night he’s there, and Matt had this one big sheet that was tacked up over the window for insulation. I could draw Fred Flintstone really fast, I always loved Fred Flintstone since I was a kid, so I drew it on a piece of paper. Jean saw it and gave me a black magic marker and said, “Draw it up there,” meaning on the sheet, so I did. He said, “That’s really good!” Then he drew a figure. Then I drew another character. Then he drew something else. Then I started writing graffiti a little bit, and he started writing. We were just high as hell, marking on the whole thing. Then he said, “Sign it.” So I signed it. Then he signed it.. Now, I did not know this was Basquiat. I thought he was just some cool dude...."
