Play him a song

"Play him a song" by Jonathan Lyndon Chase is a vibrant and tactile work rendered in acrylic, chalk, pastel, glitter, and marker on muslin, showcasing the artist's signature layered and expressive approach. The piece pulses with raw energy, capturing an intimate moment between Black figures through loose, gestural mark-making and a bold, celebratory use of color and texture. Chase's unconventional choice of muslin as a support adds a soft, unguarded quality to the work, reinforcing the tenderness and vulnerability at the heart of the scene.
