Five panel mural by Sagie Vangelina, "Young, Gifted &, Black" in Providence, Rhode Island. Made in collaboration with The Avenue Concept, a local public arts initiative.
An accompanying information plaque reads in part: “Sagie is known for her vividly colored mural with sweeping lines and geometric repetitions…This piece is a tribute to Nina Simone, the legendary singer, activist, and icon. The title is taken from one of her most famous songs.”
Two line work portraits of Ms. Simone take center stage in this work framed by window openings in the back side of the preserved western wall of 35 Weybosset Street. The artist's pallet symmetrically balances yellows and greens on the left with oranges and reds on the right. Undulating layers of hues are accented with clusters and trails of floating circles.
