Rapper-turned-artist Jahlil Nzinga has released a new limited-edition screen print entitled gotta wear shades<\/em>. Produced by acclaimed Parisian maison, Print Them All \u2014 who in the past had worked with the likes of Picasso and Matisse (amongst others) \u2014 the artwork depicts one of the Los Angeles-based artist’s signature one-liner drawings wearing blue-tinted sunglasses. <\/p>\n

Having first come up as Stunnaman from the Bay Area rap group, The Pack, Nzinga has reinvented himself as a prolific artist over the past five years, creating largely gestural works that are inspired by his hip hop days, as well as his interest in fashion, early skateboarding graphics, and the canons of art history. Entirely self-taught, Nzinga found his painterly voice through the unapologetic process of one-liners, where through an unconscious flow, he creates expressive faces that almost appear like hieroglyphic marks. <\/p>\n
