Sloan’s “Mrs Sloans View From Home” is a hauntingly nostalgic acrylic painting that resurrects the gritty glory of RFK Stadium, home to the Washington Redskins from 1961 to 1997, and a temple for D.C. sports, soul, and neighborhood ritual. With a palette soaked in fiery reds, warm rusts, and smoky purples, the piece glows with the heat of memory—tailgates, family gatherings, and roaring crowds echoing through the dusk. In the foreground, vintage cars flood the stadium lot, frozen in a moment of collective anticipation. Their bold silhouettes evoke a bygone era where RFK was not just a venue, but a cultural gathering ground for Black Washington a place of belonging, pride, and spectacle. But just above this scene of familiar joy, a UFO hovers, cold and detached. As with many of Sloan’s works, the spaceship is no accident it looms as a metaphor for the invasion of gentrification, creeping over sacred spaces with calculated disinterest. Its presence also alludes to the systemic forces urban erasure, police presence, and socio-political displacement that have threatened to replace community identity with commercial detachment.
