“Black
This is my human friend, Leanne, mocking this painting of black Jesus with a levitating goldfish. She discovered this painting at North York Centre.

Hey Leanne, this black Jesus painting is called Salvatore Nigrum. It's by artist, Segun Caezar.

Segun Caezar is a Nigerian-born visual artist whose practice centres on realistic portraiture as a tool of historical reclamation, emotional depth, and ancestral witnessing. His work foregrounds black subjects, particularly immigrants and their descendants, and often integrates recurring motifs like koi fish and to explore spiritual endurance, dispacement, and transformation.

Picture taken by Toronto Beaver in September, 2025.
