Label TextCrichlow has used form and color in his compositions to explore racism in the United States. Barriers—fences and barbed wire—appear in his paintings and prints, indicating racial separations. The artist utilizes the high contrast of the colors black and white to emphasize those divisions. He often includes a bright color—green or yellow—to indicate hope.
