The ring leads to other things Print

This is perhaps the third or fourth painting in what became my current style which is painting on clothing fixed to a solid wooden canvas. In this, less is more version of my style, I allowed more of the Masonite board to show through the very open weaved fabric. I made this at the same time I created “A step out for a smoke”. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKcimxFlDfl/ For both of the works, I went to a secondhand clothing store to get the clothing and fabric I used. I was so broke at the time that I couldn’t use any of my own clothes. I was using them. I think the fabric in the lower section is actually a curtain and not clothing, I do not recall. I cut the corner off the tubes of acrylic yellow and black paint then squeezed out the paint without thinking of anything subjective. For me, they ended up creating a wedding ring and a sperm which led to the inspiration of the title. I liked how the paint ended up laying on top of the sweater fragment instead of soaking into it. Abstract art, I believe, is supposed to force the viewer to come to their own conclusions about what they are seeing, more so than subjective art which can spoon-feed what you are seeing (not that there is anything wrong with that). I think the title of the art should do the same thing, force the viewer into thinking “how does the title apply to the work?”. What does this mean to you?
