Jason Patterson's at it again — showing his artwork in local coffee shops. This time around, his pieces of art deck the walls at Cafe Kopi in downtown Champaign with new ones added into the mix from his last shows at Art Coop and Caffe Paradiso. Right when you walk into the cafe, you are forced into a viewing. A new piece of Patterson's, "Malcolm X Triptych" is a portrait of the civil rights leader in white pastel and charcoal on raw canvas including a lesser known quote from Malcolm, "I don't believe in any form of unjustified extremism, but I believe if a human being is exercising extremism in the defense of liberty, it's no vice. And when one is moderate in the pursuit of justice for human beings, I say he's a sinner." It stands seven feet high and 15 feet long, "Malcolm X" is the largest and one of the more complicated pieces he has had to finish. It took two and a half months to pump out.
