Remembering my main man #NormMaxwell (@normmaxwellstudio) today.. I still look at the work from this series and know for a fact that he seen something that was beyond comprehension. The way he talked was as if he’d been somewhere that was better and was able to be “NOMZEE”. I had no clue it’d be the last series I’d get to watch you paint. Seeing these works still make me tear up man. • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Inspiring #Art #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #ArtMarket #ContemporaryPainting #CollectArt #ContemporaryArtCollectors #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #PartsOfPaintings #ContemporaryArtist #ArtistsOnInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Buw87DxnbDn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h4y2q856686v

#яєƿȏṡṭ @artabovereality ・・・ #NomzeeDay ... this was during the opening of @gallery38 and our first resident artist was of course our brother #NormMaxwell. It was an amazing show and I felt honored that he trusted us with the show. The piece in the background "A Song For Ascension" was one of my favorites from him. Wish I had that cash or he wouldn't have been able to hold onto anything because I would've bought it all! Jealous of @normmaxwellgalleryseoul with all those beautiful works! :) pictured here: Me, big dog @shirtkingphade, Norm and my bro @diwon. #artabovereality #membersonly #gallery38 #fineart #oilpainting #philadelphia #contemporaryart #creative #legendary #exhibitopening #colors #BlackHistoryThroughArts @normmaxwellstudio #NomzeeForever (at Gallery 38)

#NomzeeDay ... this is my 2nd all time favorite piece by #NormMaxwell (@normmaxwellstudio).. I can never remember the name but everything about this speaks power to me. From the abstraction of the #flag to #bandana and curlers on the woman's head. This made me think of single black mothers in the inner cities that do what they have to to see their children to success. It often reminds me of my mother. Strong, innovative, loving with survival skills like an African lion. Everything about this speaks to the strength of the black woman. You see those red, white and blue rollers though? Killed it Norm! Rest In Heaven! #artabovereality #BlackHistoryThroughArts #colors #legendary #contemporaryart #blackwoman #mothers #fineart #nomzeeforever #madonnaandchild #USA @normmaxwellstudio

Happy Birthday Brother.. Thank you for helping us to become what you always knew we could. Today, we just wish you could come by and paint.. 🎨🎈#NomzeeForever #RIPNormMaxwell #artgallery #fineart #contemporaryart #artist #legend #Nomzee #NormMaxwell #Gallery38 #NormMaxwellStudio #lovelivelife #family (at Gallery 38)

Saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Norm Maxwell. @normmaxwellstudio A wonderful person and an incredible artist. Here is one of 4 pieces we collaborated on last year at the Tower in Burbank #rip #normmaxwell #nomzee #normmaxwellstudio (at The Tower Burbank)

On this morning #Nomzee called me like "Yo! What you doing? Get up and come with me to shoot this mural in Burbank..." of course my answer was "Bet, when you ready?" .. We went up to this private building, let in by a guard and then proceeded to see these massive artworks that Norm has in this private corporate collection. I walk in and go "WTF! How did I not know about this!?".. he says "Well, you know now! Lol and of course you gotta do a photoshoot"... so this photo came from me candidly shooting while Norm was adjusting and go over the work.. #Rest in Heaven Brother Norm! #artabovereality #NormMaxwell #NomzeeDay #contemporaryart #losangeles #philadelphia #oilpainting #murals #membersonly #fineart @normmaxwellstudio

Today for me is #NomzeeDay (7/12). It was today a year ago we lost our brother #NormMaxwell (@normmaxwellstudio) ... Miss this brother dearly. His insight into life, his jokes and his courtesy. I first met Norm by accident when I first moved to California. After doing the Fairfax shuffle through the street wear brands, I stumbled into this gallery with a bunch of dope work in the window. I went in with a friend of mine and was floored at the work. I had never seen artwork like this before or if I have I definitely wasn't paying that close of attention. We talked for about 25 min, realizing we both were from Philly and had a lot of mutual friends in the city. From there I felt super inspired and felt like I found a place of solitude in LA. My homegirl eventually bought a piece (she bought a ton of work that day) and still talks about that day today. I took it as a great convo with a great artist. Didn't know that moment would send a chain reaction. | The work in the picture come from the "Voyage Through The Void" series from my studio visit as we planned for what would be his last show at @gallery38. #artabovereality #Nomzee #spraycan #abstract #contemporaryart #painting #philadelphia #losangeles #BlackHistoryThroughArts #life #oilpainting (at Norm Maxwell Studio Gallery)

#NomzeeDay ... Norm used to crush everything.. this was at @dwellondesign with @dunnedwards ... watched him knock this out like it was nothing.. I was filming in total amazement.. #artabovereality #fineart #contemporaryart #artist #dwell #dwellondesign #women #nomzeeforever #NormMaxwell @normmaxwellstudio

Starting now and throughout tomorrow, I will be posting some of the best work and memories from my good brother #NormMaxwell (@normmaxwellstudio), Rest In Heaven. Norm wasn't just a friend, he was a mentor to me, a big brother, a teacher and so much more. He helped me to understand art deeper than what's on the surface. From tips on paint, canvas and more because he felt that I should think and move like the Artist I am. I used to remind him that I wasn't a artist. He would say something sly like "that's what you think, but that ain't what we see".. art isn't just materials. It's thought, time, writing, patience and more wrapped into a moment. #Nomzee lived that.. this piece is from the #FlashTag exhibition in 2015 at @caaminla curated by @vidalbrown. The work there was phenomenal. #artabovereality #contemporaryart #artmuseum #installation #murals #philadelphia #hiphop #spraycan #RIP #CAAM

Ayo @kingjames 🙌🙌🙌 let me give you some background on this work. This piece here is by one of the greatest artists that ever lived to me. His name was #NormMaxwell (@normmaxwellstudio) who sadly left us a few years ago. This #Prince piece is from a series Norm did called “Pop on a Platter” where he did tributes to #popculture but in a #renaissance setting. Actually before he passed he started to do prints of this work again because another celebrity had posted the photo. His family would love to see this again I’m sure. I’m glad it’s in a great home alongside some powerful works in your collection. Man, it blows my mind to think what Norm would say if I showed him this! He would be going crazy! Lol! “Like you see man it’s a matter of time!” Norm is always shining on us. From all of his homies. @adah.glenn @snakedoctorbrand @normmaxwellgalleryseoul @mrtrixter @mowk7 @beauti_full_me @originaljayp @diwon @theproducerbdb - Look at #NOMZEE! _ #artabovereality #normmaxwell #lebronjames #artcollector #kingjames #Painting #prince #contemporaryart #nomzeeforever https://www.instagram.com/p/BphWXUDnqfn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=133pdgolk2zrh
