| Artist's Statement |
My paintings are aimed at “simple seduction” for black people in my generation. I use simple elements that can convey an immediate message while still offering more once you fully engage. Upon engagement, viewers will be seduced through the use of striking colors, subject matter, and composition. This approach will hopefully bring my art to a broader, unsuspecting audience. My style is a deconstruction of light and dark that allows me to breathe structured color into every form. Combining this with graphical elements that express something beyond their physical shapes. Ultimately my work appears visually closer to a digital production while still remaining a hand crafted/analog piece. Society is sitting in the middle of digital and traditional worlds and that’s where I want my artwork to be positioned. |
| Biography |
I always pictured myself as an artistic person but over time I took steps further away from that reality. First was college and then finding a career…both allowed my artistic spirit to lay dormant. Then during the summer of 2009, I took a full month off from work for creative exploration. At the time, I knew it was a tremendous milestone in my life but I couldn’t foresee how it would eventually play out. So far it proved to be a turning point in pushing my visions and dreams into reality. |
