Bizarre Icicle Painting

These works are called the “Season” paintings. They represent the idea of where things were and where they go. While I was living in Virginia briefly from March to June of this year, 2020, I found these unfinished drawings from high school. I cut these drawings into smaller pieces and viewed the drawings differently, as landscapes. Going into them with graphite and colored pencils, I created theses abstract, surreal scenes. They began to remind me of Hieronymus Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights” with their suggestive forms and bright colors mixed with pastel flesh tones. These paintings revealed that my headspace is different from where it was when I first created these images back in high school. They’re smaller and with much more paint, heavier.
