I’m delighted to announce my solo show with The Los Angeles Art Association at Gallery 825.
In this collection, I use metaphor to convey the brutality of human interaction in my mixed media paintings and drawings. Diving into the dark space between desire and fear, characters struggle within uneasy cartoon humor.
These figures become the symbols of the unnamable angst for the stories that bombard us through social media and politics. Using visual allegory as a purge, I reflect on the effects of current events insidiously becoming a part of us.
The texture and color of these works are gritty and intense—icons battle in a dreamlike arena. The boundaries of this stage are the edges of passion and aggression - murky with the runoff of culture and the human condition.
My search for emotional truths in suffering led me to create this theater of the absurd in my quest to deliver its essence with poetry and irony and hopefully some humor.
