Description

Renty (Noah's son) is a chilling evidence of the widespread slavery in the 18th and 19th century across the USA, especially in the south. The photo of real Renty was commissioned by biologist Louis Agassiz and was shot by photographer Zealy J.T in March 1850 to demonstrate the inferiority of the origin of the black man. The photo shows an immortal and rare point of view of the humiliation experienced by Renty as a slave and as an object of scientific curiosity, as there is no other good reason for a black slave to appear on a photograph alone at a time when not everyone could afford to be photographed. My Renty was left hurt and scarred, but he still stands straight and firm. No more bending. Renty dares to look directly at anyone who dares to stare back. The painting was presented in the Inter' Exhibit' for architects and designers 2015, reached an advanced stage on an art contest in London and Dubai 2016, and was presented in Hollywood on LA "Billboard creative show 2016".
