Rahmaan Statik is a Woodlawn-born muralist looking to empower Chicago's youth with a Black Panther mural.Chicago native muralist and street artist Rahmaan Statik is bringing empowerment to the Woodlawn neighborhood through his latest "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" mural.
"I'm a comic book fanboy. Before I was doing murals, I wanted to be a comic book artist. I wanted to work for Marvel," Statik said. Statik explained his artistic take on the mural stating, "You can tell this piece is mine because of the color palette. Cyan, magenta, yellow. That way, it's vibrant, even on a gray day."
"People want to see images that look like them that are empowered and not alienated," Statik said. "And everyone deserves that, everyone deserves their own Mount Rushmore."
