Mos Def: Black Star Light

Product Details
Mos Def — now Yasiin Bey — is one of the most thoughtful artists hip hop has produced: a wordsmith, an actor, an activist, someone who's always seemed more interested in the truth of a thing than in his own profile. Black Star with Talib Kweli remains a landmark album, and this portrait tries to match that seriousness: a face painted with care, the mark-making layered and unhurried, a portrait for someone who listens to the lyrics.
Mos Def: Black Star Light is an original hand-painted Mos Def oil and acrylic painting on canvas — expressive brushwork in my distinctive graffiti-art-influenced style. Ready to dispatch. Painted by Richard Day.

This is a genuine original painting — hand-painted by me in oils and acrylics on canvas. It is not a print, reproduction, or digital artwork. Each painting is unique — no two are ever identical.

Richard's bold, high-contrast style works particularly well as a statement piece — above a sofa, in a hallway, or as the focal point of a room. If you're unsure about sizing or placement, drop us a message, and we'll help.
