Visual Art – Boston
Hakim Waters, the Boston painter and designer who adopted a nickname oft-given to Jean-Michel Basquiat, is known in the art world for his creative recontextualization of famous black figures, including Malcolm X, Barack Obama and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. posed like Run DMC.
