About
Crut 1
In this piece, I've layered acrylics, oils, and inks together. The abstract meets the primal in art brut, mingling with pop art's boldness and semi-abstract's allure. Vivid pinks and energetic scrawls invigorate the canvas, a lively dialogue between the wild and the refined, set to captivate and energize any space with its untamed spirit.
Subject
Communication to the masses. Text in the environment can mark territory, give control and can validate those, who don’t 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 surface’s.
Med. Acrylic paint, oil pigment, paint pen, gesso paint on cradled birch wood artist panel. (Unframed) Ready to hang with all hardware on the back
Size 50cm (W) x 50 (H) x 2cm (D)
