Adrian Migadde's Spirituality: "Wake Up and Live"

Are you living true to yourself? You get rewarded by being you. Adrian Migadde

Adrian Migadde (B. 1989, Uganda) lives and explores deep “Spirituality,” and it sings loudly in his artwork.  With simplicity, depth, and power his paintings’ voice is consistent with Bob Marley’s personal, humanist, spiritual side.  The voice says: "Wake Up and Live.”  Like Bob Marley, Adrian believes “self-realization and freedom are deeply interconnected; self-realization is discovering and embracing one’s true identity, achieving spiritual awakening, and breaking free from mental chains; freedom encompasses physical (and mental) liberation from oppression, spiritual freedom aligned with divine will, and the ability to express oneself authentically.” ChatGPT. Adrian’s striving for spirituality simultaneously creates works deeply personal but with “open to interpretation” meanings, at times disorienting, depending on the viewer’s lens.  We explore the duality in Adrian Migadde’s thinking, which manifest in his paintings. Beyond philosophy, his paintings are honest, scholarly, challenging in the use of symbols, metaphors, colors; they evoke feelings and tell his story.

African American Art – Three Artists to Know and collect

Charles Desmarais, “Art Guy”, asked “Why is African American art having a moment?” (Datebook.sfchronicle.com, Jun 02, 2019) and Culture Type tried to explain “Why African American Art is Hot”, “Having a Moment” (Tweet July 27/2019). Works by African American artists were featured prominently in auction houses, museums.  Some artists achieved record prices for their work. My bet is that 2019 was not a ‘Moment’ but a continuation of a movement.


Three Artists to Know and collect

Howardina Pindell, Constellation Ann Tanksley, Untitled Cora Marshall, Runaway Slave Series

Here are three women in the Art Hedge Collection who deserve to share the ‘moment’: Howardina Pindell, Ann Tanksley and Cora Marshall. Their art works are powerful, beautiful and unique. I get the same feelings from their works like I did when I first saw Elizabeth Catlett’s Sharecropper. Perhaps, like the 86 year old abstract painter Sam Gilliam, who is getting his due, their stars will ascend.

With the exception of Howardina Pindell, the artists works are still attainable and available. We recommend that you collect them— collecting them may be a wise art investment strategy.

Art Hedge continues to nurture artists, seize the opportunity to invest in undervalued, underrepresented great art, wherever we find it.
