Representative John Lewis

110 Cedar Street, Manchester, CT, United States

A memorial tribute portrait of Civil Rights activist John Lewis, as he looked later in life, within a brick arch on a building. The portrait is vivid in its hyperrealism, with tones of blue and green alongside the black-and-white. The background is a mix of pale yellow, shades of blue, and a wash of red. The artist's signature, ARCY, is painted in the bottom right corner in white paint.

John Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020) served in the United States House of Representatives for Georgia's 5th congressional district from 1987 until his death in July 2020.
