My current work of combining graphics with gestural expression was inspired by the street performers of Barcelona in a district named El Borne.  My intent for the viewer is to give attention to the contrasts and multi layered complexities of community by combining the elements of drawing and painting on one surface.  Layering one over the other.
Ripped and torn canvas applied with some three dimension created by elevating surface elements.  Canvas projecting off of the main two dimensional surface, penetrating with positive form the negative space surrounding the canvas.  Elements of bright primary colors contrasted with earth tones. Black and white graphics combined with gestural strokes to further emphasize the contrasting elements in community.
Edges soft, torn, ragged, hard, important, encompassing.
Chaos, rhythm, static, flowing.....
Community.
