mixed media on panel, diptych $1300
“I am enjoying this opportunity to explore a new medium, which in this case is mixed,
using spray paint, acrylic, resin, newsprint and more.
Abstract art is by far my favorite style, but I still like it to hint at something
that is clear enough for the viewer to glean information or at least get a memorable impression.
“Hot Spots and Safety Zones” represents the current state of the world and the different ways people
are handling their quarantines. For instance, the white ring could be the idea of a Covid-free
community like New Zealand, whereas the black and white rings are places still in the flux of new cases.
The Asian comics are hinting at the first outbreaks in China – (note the masks).
The other more obscured layers can hint to all the things that we have yet to learn about the virus.
These ideas aren’t set in stone tho – I hope you as the viewer will infer your own symbolism
and have a dynamic visual experience.”
