When British born, New York based neo-expressionist artist Renaldo heard of Richard Pryor’s passing, he knew immediately that he would have to do a tribute to the greatest comedian of the modern age. With his one man show- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face – adorning the walls of the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building gallery, Renaldo knew he had the ideal platform and he proved it. By adding new Richard portraits to the two pieces he already had on display in The First Time… exhibition and playing the king's recordings over the loud speaker, Renaldo provided the perfect environment for honoring the passing of one of the giants of the 20th century. Renaldo provided a celebration. Good look, Renaldo, good look.
