"Motion in Teal" is the abstract Black dance art print that does what only the best abstract work can—it makes you feel movement without depicting it literally. Antionette Simmons Hodges dissolves a dancer into fluid brushstrokes of teal, deep blue, and vibrant green until the figure and the motion become one indistinguishable thing, and the result is more alive than any literal portrait of dance could be.

Hodges created this piece at the intersection of her two great loves: the jazz tradition and the visual possibilities of abstract expression. The dancer here is not frozen mid-step but released into sensation—the body becoming a vehicle for rhythm, color, and feeling rather than a subject to be documented. The teal palette has an almost aquatic depth, cool on the surface and luminous underneath, suggesting the way great music and great dancing seem to have their own internal light source.

This is contemporary African American abstract art that speaks to viewers who understand both the cultural richness of Hodges's subject matter and the formal ambition of her approach. It belongs in the company of work that refuses to choose between beauty and meaning—this piece offers both, effortlessly.

Hang "Motion in Teal" in a living room, bedroom, or creative workspace where its energy can breathe. It makes a compelling gift for lovers of abstract art, dance, or jazz—and for anyone who wants contemporary African American art that holds its own in any room, any collection, any conversation about what art can do.

This archival-quality giclée print is produced on premium cotton rag paper with museum-grade inks that capture the full luminosity of Hodges's teal and blue palette. Available in portrait orientation from 8×11" to 14×19", with select sizes featuring an optional ½" white margin for easy framing.

Antionette Simmons Hodges is a celebrated African American artist whose work spans the full range of her culture's expressive traditions—bring "Motion in Teal" home and let it move on your wall.

Product Details & Legal Information

Paper & Materials

We use Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper, a 100% cotton, acid-free, archival-quality paper with a soft, textured surface. This museum-grade paper is engineered to resist fading and deterioration, making it ideal for lasting fine art prints.

Each print is produced using archival giclée ink, a pigment-based ink system known for its superior longevity, depth, and color accuracy. Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) printing is the gold standard in fine art reproduction, offering exceptional detail and dynamic range. The result is a vibrant, durable image that honors the integrity of the original artwork—perfect for collectors and admirers of quality.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity of your fine art print, keep it out of direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. For optimal preservation, consider framing the print using UV-protective glass and archival materials. Store and display it in a cool, dry environment to prevent humidity-related damage. Always handle your print with clean, dry hands to avoid smudges or oils transferring to the paper. Avoid spraying any cleaning solutions or moisture directly onto the print surface. With proper care, your archival-quality print will retain its color, clarity, and impact for generations.
