This painting is a wild mix of cut-up images and bright colors. At the top, a building with columns has the words *"JUSTICE"* and *"THE NIGGERDID IT"* scrawled across it. Below, a subway courtroom scene shows people sitting at tables, with a judge and a flag in the background. The edges are packed with graffiti-style text like *"LEM RAZOR KILLERS"* and *"JUSTICE PRETENDICE?"* in bold, messy letters. The artist glued together old photos, magazine clippings, and handwritten words to make one chaotic piece. It feels like a protest against unfairness in the courts, using sharp contrasts and clashing images. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
