ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting is constructed with paper, ink, paper bags, oil paint and oil stick, all sealed with a protective UV varnish. The sides are painted silver and it is ready to hang. Images and words that induce good fortune. From fortune cookies to images of Andy Warhol's Pig (In China known to represent good fortune) and even tarot cards and lucky #8! Images and lyrics woven into the canvas that bring on the positive mantra for - good fortune. The Subway Sonnet series is inspired by my time growing up in Brooklyn and NYC in the 80s. Graffiti was all over from the old school telephone booths to the metal cages small business owners pulled down over their windows at night. It was all over the D train and Q trains that I took from Brooklyn into the city. There was an unintentional collaboration of marks coming from spray paint cans to stickers. Over time these areas would get so filled up that new paint and stickers would be put on the surface and marks covered up of the previous “artists” there. These marks also told stories of the people who lived in these neighborhoods. I’m revisiting this vision when I paint. There is one mantra I keep at the forefront and then the rest follows and this painting is all about good fortune. I work to find the right mix of what the painting is asking for, for it to be authentic and not fussy with the actual marks when a lot of thought actually goes into the piece before I picked up the paint. It’s challenging to take what is a random collaboration of paint, marks, paper, pieces and make it cohesive and balanced with the right amount of artless mark making.
