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.
