Artist Statement
The human body is on a constant collision course with age, bringing it to death and decay, over a period of time, as we fight the concept of the ugliness of death, with; sex, makeup, medical procedures, and tanning beds.
Black and Red Striped Stockings brings to focus the concept of time, and the human condition’s imminent need to postpone death, even in all its inevitability, as it tries to conserve its beauty regardless of its age and state.
The structure of the piece itself is shown under a constant rebuilding process. Taking mixed media; from cardboard, to wood, and including anything convenient to try and postpone the paintings own disintegration.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
