Vibrant Soul: A Tribute to Jazz and Southern Culture –
Corey Barksdale Original Art
Atlanta Art Gallery | African American Artist | Southern Black Art | Jazz-Inspired Paintings
Step into the electric rhythm of the South with “Vibrant Soul”, a stunning original painting by Atlanta-based African American artist Corey Barksdale. This bold, energetic piece captures the spirit of jazz, Black identity, and the pulse of Southern street culture in a visually striking display of expressive color and form.
The composition explodes with motion—an abstract jazz musician cloaked in deep red and indigo hues, crowned with radiant outlines of gold, lime, and crimson. The large, rainbow-toned hand extending toward the viewer is a symbol of connection, strength, and creative expression. Behind him, an abstract horn instrument and urban backdrop reflect Atlanta’s vibrant music legacy and Corey Barksdale’s signature artistic voice.
Each brushstroke tells a story—of rhythm, resilience, and reclamation of cultural space through art.
