Parallel to this deep\, lifelong study\, however\, is a smaller and lesser known series of drawings by the artist with words and phrases that explore relationships between text and image and their attendant meanings. \nIn No to Prison Life\, Whitney worked with Guest Curator Larry Ossei-Mensah\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD) Susanne Feld Hilberry Senior Curator\, to create and contextualize a new work of art for his alma mater. Whitney’s Project Wall intentionally combines painting and drawing to register an urgent public protest against a U.S. judicial system that promotes arrest\, incarceration\, and other forms of imprisonment that often further damages lives. \nWhitney recently introduced the public to the phrase “No to Prison Life” as the title for a painting created for the international Documenta 14 exhibition in Athens\, Greece and Kassel\, Germany\, in 2017.  In this new context\, however\, the artist uses his agency to create a work that merges his stylistic painting with a provocative message and in so doing broadcasts an alert regarding the disproportionate number of African Americans in U.S. prisons.
