In this acrylic painting, Reggie Burrows Hodges depicts a figure sheltering beneath a vibrant yellow umbrella, a composition that speaks to themes of protection, care, and human connection. The work's title, "In the Service of Others," suggests that the umbrella functions as a metaphor for selfless aid and community support. Hodges employs bold color and expressive brushwork characteristic of his practice to create an intimate scene that elevates everyday gestures of kindness into a powerful statement about compassion and interdependence.
