Galvanized by an atmosphere of protest and possibility, pioneering artist, filmmaker, and blues musician Mike Henderson left Marshall, Missouri, to attend @sfaiofficial where he received his MFA in 1970. That same year, Henderson began exploring abstraction, which would become the primary visual language of his work. To create "Parallel Portions," Henderson applied vibrant hues of purple and blue in multiple layers, building them up into a luscious impasto and scraping them off with a palette knife to reveal glimpses of color below. Like the syncopated beat of a song, the painting’s contrasting hues, textures, and patterns come together to form a harmonious whole. With its strikingly juxtaposed bands of color, the painting upholds the possibility of living side-by-side in a celebration of our differences. "Parallel Portions" by Mike Henderson is on view post-security in Harvey Milk Terminal 1.

As an artist, Raymond Saunders relies on his own keen observations and experiences: “The important thing about doing art is that I also live… and the more I bring into myself, the more I have a desire and need to translate it into something.” This work is representative of the artist’s dramatic use of color, gestural strokes, elegant line, and the collaged remnants of everyday life to provide compositional, textural, and spatial contrasts.
