The Black Male Artist Professor Series aims to showcase and celebrate the accomplishments of Black male visual artists/art or art education professors (must be both) who have made significant contributions to the art world or art education and have taught or are currently teaching in visual art and/or art education programs at historically White colleges and universities in the United States. The series will showcase paintings inspired by Fauvism’s stylistic traditions, created using a combination of acrylic and oil paints and incorporating symbolic references associated with each subject. To maintain consistency, every painting will be of a standard size of 36" x 48", while unique techniques will be employed to represent each subject. The series will comprise of 20 to 25 paintings. Here is the list Robert Reed, Aaron Douglas, Charles White, William T. Williams, Stanley Whitney, Imo Nse Imeh, Rudy Shepherd, Derek Adams, Mark Thomas Gibson, Odili Donald Odita, Larry Walker, Nick Cave, Lyle Ashton Harris, Noel W.

Ligel plans to spend the next year painting 14 to 19 more of the gentlemen listed above in the series and will publish a book commemorating their contributions and impact on our society and how they have shaped visual art and art education. The book will be available online on my website, and the collection will first be pitched to art museums in the US for exhibition. (The book cover design can be seen below)
