Neo-Modern Paintings
How do we depict ourselves? What feels relevant, authentic, and is revealed to others upon experiencing the work? Attempts at something unexpected is met with conflict, which seems the only way to develop critical evaluation, a process with whatever medium delivers the message, no matter how convoluted. Some hold curiosity, while others desire, urging possession. To an end, ownership is one way many experience a work of art as finished, ultimately in a mutual interaction of reciprocity, an invitation to bear witness of lives. Infractions are a more fruitful takeaway for all. Growing up in a busy household, finding solitude drawing from comic books gave way to process. Intuition over intellect emerged slowly. Using the knocked down pallets of the modernists, kept a keen eye on how to finesse what was craved over copy and past style work.
