Untitled (Anxious Crowd)
Rashid Johnson's *Untitled (Anxious Crowd)* presents a dense, grid-like arrangement of abstracted figures rendered with the artist's signature use of black soap, wax, and shea butter, creating a visceral, textured surface that evokes both communal energy and psychological unease. The work draws on Johnson's ongoing exploration of Black identity, trauma, and resilience, with the fragmented, mask-like faces suggesting a collective yet fractured humanity. The raw, layered materiality of the piece reinforces themes of vulnerability and emotional weight embedded within contemporary Black experience.
