"United"

Negro League 1948

The Homestead Grays built one of the Negro Leagues’ great winning traditions, achieving excellence while Black players faced segregation in professional baseball. Their 1948 victory over the Birmingham Black Barons secured the final Negro World Series championship, a lasting place in the game’s history. In “United,” Justyn Farano honors the players behind that legacy through an intimate dugout scene. The painting invites collectors to connect with the shared purpose, concentration and fellowship of a team, preserving the human presence of a baseball era whose achievements deserve to be remembered and celebrated.

Rendered in black, white and gray, the seated players form a close, continuous line along the dugout bench. Farano focuses on their faces and individual expressions, giving the title “United” its meaning through the quiet solidarity of teammates sharing the game.

The philosophy behind my art has always been to make the most compelling, engaging experience for you, the viewer. I try to envision what it was like to compete against that athlete on the field. I want you to feel that grit and rawness of emotion, the athlete’s competitive fire, and passion.

As a perfectionist, my obsession of getting these details precise, takes razor focus, constant critiquing, and fine tuning. It’s not till the painting is complete to my highest of standard, till I am genuinely satisfied.
