ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Painting: Acrylic, printing ink and Airbrush on Paper. "Upward mobility" depicts multiple figures toward the base of the composition. These figures represent a sense of calm when combined with the rhythmic and gestural marks that populate the rest of the composition. Their is a violence within the chaos of the markings and suppressed figures but they suggestively point upward. This series combines the looseness of mono-printing with the more controlled qualities of acrylic paint and silk screen. Through this process wonderfully saturated colors are produced and a dialogue that explores the interwoven layers of symbolism and technique is established. This series draws great inspiration from the inventive drawing techniques developed by the surrealists that promoted unpredictable and not entirely controllable process. Keywords: rhythmic, Pop art, gestural abstraction, Op-Art, colorful, abstract

His unique fusions of drawing, printmaking and painting deliver a strong sense of psychedelia and ask to be deciphered by a viewer.
