High Plains is an acrylic on canvas piece that I created, inspired by African American artist Jacob Lawrence. The piece is an attempt to emulate his use of color and shape to convey a theme of a specific culture of America, that being the culture of traditional Midwest America, which contrasts with the culture of Harlem that Lawrence depicts. The piece represents a traditional American town, with an American Gothic style church and bar, all within the style of a culturally contrasting artist.
