Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural Lady Sings the Blues by Michael Talbot depicts a female jazz singer in the throes of her performance. As the words leave her lips and engulf her, the spotlight shines on her head and tears begin to fall. The artwork is inspired by the song “Lady” by Regina Spektor.
Talbot is a Jamaican-born, Boston-based freelance artist and visual storyteller who has worked on a wide range of projects, murals, exhibitions, and showcases since 2012. His work, often narrative-driven, is most characterized by the keen use of motion, negative space, as well as a limited palette reminiscent of graphic novels and other forms of sequential art.
