These are two pictures of the paintings i've been working on this week/the past few days. They both have been very tedious. The one with color squares and black and white faces was originnally done with spray paint, but the outcome was too messy. i wanted it to be more linear, so i painted over everything (changing the faces a little as i went). the one with the words is supposed to depict what is perfection. these are all words that I associate with perfection (in a person) which i drew freehand with sharpie. I then cut out several different types/sizes of triangles and spraypainted over them in blue and purple, creating this design. i wanted to cover some parts of all of the words to portray the idea that not everyone is perfect in every way, and all of these qualities are debatable. nothing is as black and white as the words originally were.
of course i love SEEING the progress. i walked in yesterday to look at these two pieces. i'm very interested in where the combination of spray and paint and paintbrush/drawing is going. it seems like the spray paint is good at obscuring things, leaving edges fuzzy, making people look like icons. i'd like to see your voice here too, with the pictures. what are you thinking about? where's this work headed?
