The piece presents a powerful black-and-white portrait of the renowned abolitionist and social reformer Frederick Douglass. Through bold, dynamic lines and stark contrasts, Peyton captures Douglass’s commanding presence, highlighting his strong features and penetrating gaze. The linocut technique lends a raw, visceral quality to the image, blending a sense of timelessness with a contemporary edge. This portrayal reflects Peyton’s ongoing fascination with historical figures who have left a lasting mark on culture and politics.

About Linocut

A modern evolution of woodcut, artists started to use linocut in the 20th century. By using the softer material of linoleum it invites for bolder experimentation. Its clean lines and rich textures make it a favorite for contemporary printmakers.
