Jerel Eaglin is a realist painter born and raised in Washington DC. His work depicts the culture and history of people throughout the African diaspora. Precision and powerful expression are the hallmark of his work. Using oil on canvas, his meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant color portrays themes ranging from pride of ancestry (Body of Christ), to the joy of African American youth (Skippin’). “My oil paintings will capture your heart, touch a memory, and give you a reason to smile.”
