by Stacy V McClain

One Day

Description:

This is my first true oil painting and the largest piece of artwork I have done. It took me a substantial amount of time to create this painting; over 80+hours. I've been planning on doing a painting like this for a long time, with influential African American leaders. I just didn't want it to be a collage of people. I wanted it to be a powerful and serious painting, illustrating the strong individuals in this painting. The idea for this painting developed after seeing an old Abraham Lincoln picture. The title arose from the leaders in this painting because they all had a dream that "One Day" things would get better for African Americans. A 24 x 36 print of this painting is also available on my website for ONLY: $20.00 at: www.svmcartisticdesigns.com

About:

Stacy Victor McClain was born in Albany, Georgia one of five children. He began to demonstrate a remarkable talent for creating art at the tender age of four. Throughout his adolescent years he participated in local art exhibitions, where he won numerous awards for his artistic pieces. After graduating from Monroe High School, Mr. McClain received a four year athletic scholarship to Armstrong Atlantic University (formerly Armstrong State College) where he continued to develop, refine, and master his unique artistic style throughout his 4 year tenure as an Art major.

Mr. McClain uses mixed media to create his original pieces: acrylic, pencil, pastel, and charcoal. His collections center around the African American experience which draw from historical contexts in both America and Africa to create a manifestation of ideas. Despite his subject matter, Mr. McClain’s art work continues to captivate the eye and minds of any race, color, or cultural group.

At the end of 2006, Mr. McClain formed his own company, SVMc Artistic Designs, where he is able to fulfill a life long dream of doing what he loves to do - creating thought-provoking art, while also giving back to communities that are deprived of artistic expression.
