Young Weezy

About This Painting

The very first Weezy painting. A hand covers the face from the outside, like someone else is forcing the silence. In later works you discover the truth — the hand is his own. This moment captures the tension between external pressure and the weight we put on ourselves. Loud color. Drips and scratches. A portrait wrestling for its own voice.
