Sentinel

🌟

by Simone Leigh

I love that Leigh gives a woman this monumental presence without asking her to reveal anything about herself

When did art last move you?

Capture it before it fades.

Art experiences are fleeting. Capture the artwork, write one sentence, and keep the moment in your art journal.

That simple habit is the idea behind artjournal.ing.

About This Artwork

Sentinel brings together the human figure and architectural forms, a recurring theme in Simone Leigh's work. A Black woman's head rises above a large, corrugated, vessel-like structure, her body seemingly absorbed into the sculpture itself. Leigh draws on African sculptural traditions, vernacular architecture, and the histories of Black women, creating figures that feel both protective and monumental.
