About
Crut 2
In creating this piece, I embraced a whole bunch of emotions, using acrylic, oil, graffiti, and ink with a raw intensity. My brushstrokes flirt with abstraction and pop art edges, stirring a semi-abstract narrative. This painting pulsates with life's unpredictable rhythm, splashing warmth and passion onto the canvas, destined to inject a dynamic energy into any space.
Subject
Communication to the masses. Text in the environment can mark territory, give control and can validate those, who donβt have a voice in the mainstream order. Through mark-making in the environment everybody can be heard. I see beauty and at times, desperation in the messages, found in the streets, and in the abandoned, underground and derelict spaces. Layers of tagging, graffiti and found marks on weathered surfaces tell stories about the past, present and future. Aesthetically they can be beautiful, even though they may have been painted illicitly on a wall, or other surfaceβs.
