This powerful framed giclee canvas print titled "The Family" (2004) by Antionette Simmons Hodges portrays three figures - two adults and a child - in a solemn, stylized manner.
The central child figure wears a plain white shirt and blue pants, flanked by the larger adult figures, his parents. The father wears a blue top while the mother is clad in pink, their arms encircling and grasping the child protectively.
Though their features are simplified with mask-like expressions, the unified stance and physical connection between the three figures conveys a deep sense of family bonding and togetherness.
According to the artist's notes, the stoic facial features hint at the generational trauma of slavery, where enslaved African ancestors were often torn apart and unable to raise their children as a united family. This poignant piece seems to honor that anguished legacy while celebrating the perseverance of familial love and devotion against immense adversity.
Through muted tones, dense brushwork, and the powerful symbolism of the embracing figures, Hodges has created an evocative statement on the enduring strength of the family unit even amid historical injustices.
Perfect for adding uplifting, joyful energy and a stylish statement to any contemporary living space or gallery wall.

Canvas & Materials
Our framed stretched canvas prints combine fine art quality with a refined, gallery-style presentation. Each piece is printed on thick, archival-grade poly-cotton canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free, preserving the artwork’s vibrancy and preventing yellowing over time. Using giclée printing technology, the colors are rich, true-to-life, and protected with a durable, semi-gloss coating to resist scratches, smudges, and fingerprints.
The canvas is expertly stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars and framed in a sleek, professional-grade frame. A black backboard and wire hanger are installed on the reverse, making the piece ready to hang immediately upon arrival.
Framing
This premium fine art option features a thick, archival-grad polycotton blend canvas, carefully hand-stretched over 0.75" deep wooden bars for lasting durability and museum-quality presentation. The artwork is then mounted in a modern float frame, leaving a subtle ¼" gap between the canvas and the frame’s edge to create a sleek, “floating” effect.
Each piece is professionally finished with a black backing, protective wall bumpers, and a wire hanger—arriving ready to hang.
Frame Color Options: Black, White, Gold, or Silver
Canvas Depth: 0.75"
Style: Modern float frame with a clean, gallery-ready finish
