Queen B

$30.00

“Queen B” by Frank Morrison is a vibrant and powerful depiction of athleticism, grace, and dominance in the context of street basketball. The artwork captures a young female basketball player in mid-air, executing an extraordinary dunk with both finesse and power. Her body is elongated and exaggerated, a signature of Morrison’s style, emphasizing the agility and dynamism of the moment. She soars above the court with an almost effortless grace, her limbs extended in a manner that defies gravity, symbolizing her command over the game.

The setting is an urban basketball court, surrounded by towering, worn-out buildings and a chain-link fence, typical of inner-city playgrounds. The backboard, worn and tagged with graffiti, tells the story of a well-used and well-loved space, where countless games have been played. Despite the rough surroundings, the sky above is a bright blue with soft clouds, providing a stark contrast that highlights the player’s rise above her environment.

The player’s attire, a vibrant pink uniform with matching sneakers, stands out against the muted tones of the urban background, making her the focal point of the composition. Her expression is one of fierce determination and focus, embodying the strength and confidence that has earned her the title “Queen B.” Morrison’s artwork celebrates not just the physical prowess of the player but also the cultural significance of basketball in urban communities, particularly as a space where women can excel and dominate.
