Way Mo' Better

This painting is an hommage of Spike Lee's 1990 film, "Mo' Better Blues," starring Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, and Angela Bassett. It shows a saxophone player abstracted face.

The mouth ventilation shape art description of the work is drawn from a combination of tribal and abstract designs, with bold colors that suggest motion.

The painting captures the energy of jazz and its vibrant movement on stage. It's an iconic representation of African American musical expression in art. Overall, the painting conveys the bluesy feel of the movie
