LIMITED EDITION 18x24 FRAMED "WE CANT SIT STILL" Giclée FINE ART PRINT

$200.00

“WE Cant Sit Still” is a stunning acrylic painting by Sloan that reimagines the iconic Big Chair on Washington D.C.’s historic Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE a towering symbol of presence, pride, and permanence in the heart of Anacostia. Painted in vibrant, almost psychedelic hues, the piece transforms this well-known neighborhood landmark into a surreal battleground between cultural memory and creeping displacement.

The viewer’s eye is pulled down the winding street, which bends like a timeline—fluid and unstable. The towering Big Chair, normally a symbol of strength, appears ghostly and fragile beneath the watchful presence of a UFO, Sloan’s recurring motif for the slow-moving invasion of gentrification and federal surveillance. This spacecraft doesn’t just represent change—it represents erasure, disconnection, and external control.

The sun is muted. The sky swirls with unnatural greens and violets, suggesting that something cosmic, uninvited, is at play. Yet the warm tones of the streets below remind us that life continues—Black life, city life, and legacy—still vibrant, still rooted, still defiant.
