Original artwork description:

This neo-expressionist painting can be said to project the intensity of emphasizing one’s explosive creative energy and furthermore, handles a detailed creation on 12oz of premium Italian canvas utilizing acrylics and oil sticks. It is visually stunning as it focuses on a collision between abstract forms, humorous characters. The repetitiveness of motion, feeling, and color add to it. The realistic tension between chaos and control provides the piece with a sense of vitality. The piece is alive.

More importantly, the piece presents itself as a work which accentuates freedom, uniqueness, and self articulation. The piece defines street culture taking inspiration particularly from graffiti and revamping the perception of fine art through buzzwords such as “NO LIMITS”, “FREE”, “LIVE”. Such phrases are strategically placed over elements of the composition to accentuate the need to break stereotypes. The use of textured strokes along with aggressive marks emphasizes the emotion of challenging that idea and inviting the audience to interact with the piece on their own terms reinterpreting the piece.

This art… goes beyond a visual representation for me, it is an idea, a statement that stands out, an articulation that focuses on collaborating with the viewer. This work is catered for maximum impact thus would look stunning in a modern or an eclectic setting. That would appeal to art lovers and collectors who appreciate work that has deeper meaning and stays up to the raw and unfiltered expectations of the contemporary audience.
