This portrait of Philadelphian Najee Spencer-Young was created by artist Amy Sherald in 2019 for Mural Arts Philadelphia.
From the Mural Arts website about the work-
Artist Amy Sherald made headlines around the world with her stunning official portrait of Michelle Obama, portraying not only the beauty and intelligence of the woman herself but the depth and breadth of all that she represents as our first African-American First Lady. Sherald’s overall body of work represents reflective, everyday moments within the lives of Black people, evocative portraits that explore how people construct and present their own identities.
Now Sherald brings her work to a new scale: working with Mural Arts Philadelphia on a massive mural portrait in Center City. The portrait is of Najee S., a young Philadelphian and participant in our art education program. Like the First Lady’s portrait, Sherald’s mural challenges ideas about identity and the public gaze, asking the questions: “Who is allowed to be comfortable in public spaces? Who is represented in art? How can one woman’s portrait begin to shift that experience for others?”
The project began with a field trip to Sherald’s studio by some of Mural Arts’ art education participants. The young people spent a day with Sherald, learning about her unique artistic practice, exploring costumes, and taking photographs together that would form the inspiration for the mural.
Three of Mural Arts’ Art Education assistant artists, Kien Nguyen, Arthur Haywood, and Emily White, also had the opportunity to study with Sherald in order to learn about her artistic process. They shared her unique process in classroom exercises with Philadelphia students, and also began work from Amy’s design to execute the six-story-high mural.
Mural Arts Philadelphia Executive Director Jane Golden says, “We are so honored to be working with Amy Sherald. For years we have admired her painting; there is such strength in her composition, her color and the way she captures a gaze. And now she has teamed up with our art education program to create a unique mural in the heart of our city. What an extraordinary moment for Mural Arts and for Philadelphia.”

Kashink was one of the many artists who created murals for Jeffrey Deitch’s Coney Art Walls in Coney Island, Brooklyn. You can find their most recent work on Instagram.
Below is Jeffrey Deitch‘s statement about the project from his website-
“Coney Art Walls was an outdoor museum of street art in the center of the Coney Island amusement park. Sixty-eight murals by leading and emerging artists from around the world were presented during the three year curatorial project from 2015 – 2017. Coney Art Walls was possibly the most visited contemporary art installation in the world during its run, experienced by many of the five million people who visit Coney Island each summer. Since the 1970s, when I would visit Coney Island with my punk rocker friends, I had a dream of creating a populist art installation there. Reading about a large vacant lot in the center of the amusement park, I approached the owner, Thor Equities, with my proposal for an outdoor museum of street art. They were enthusiastic about the concept and funded a remarkable three-year project. The mural project was enhanced by a Brooklyn food court with outdoor seating and a music program. It was thrilling to see hundreds of young people dancing in front of the murals on summer nights.”
