Lionel Milton offers paintings on plywood, Social Distance Social Justice and Strange Fruit (both 2020), memorializing Ahmaud Arbery, the unarmed Black man fatally shot while jogging in Georgia in 2020, and protesting the health disparities that allowed the coronavirus to ravage Black New Orleans. Combining weighty themes with mundane materials, such works bring today’s social justice issues home in every sense.
