The image of a hand texting on a cell phone caught my attention, and I wanted to make a painting out of it. The challenge was to give an old fashion drawing technique a contemporary look. The flower print dress added color, and in the area below, the letters "XOXOLOL" are backward and in Italics repeated over and over, thus creating a barely perceptible pattern. The colors are chosen to make the edges appear to vibrate.

In this painting titled "Pundit 2.0," a head absent of facial features suggests a talking head. It is surrounded by confetti-like elements producing a sense of visual confusion as if denoting a pundit whose aim is to tell you perhaps what you want to hear or possibly just the facts. In today's era, we are surrounded by misinformation. The variety of colors might engage the viewer to continue looking as the visual activity is inviting.
Regarding style, it can be considered figuration combining abstraction with suggestive representation. It may appear influenced by Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, although it's far from an Andy Warhol or a Basquiat to look further in terms of style. There is multi-layering in the abstraction, but it relates more to lyricism, and there is density at the bottom compared to a Julie Mehretu.
Also, with the presence of a male figure, the artist maintains the need for representation as crucial. As a painting, it is not entirely abstract.

Artist Statement: "Dive" is created by an image transfer process. For me, it is a way to make paintings without the useful opacity of paint. Although in traditional and contemporary painting, the opaque quality of paint has proven useful in creating imagery, I find the unpredictable nature of this process meaningful and results in a novel visual experience - via transparency of layered found images. The bottom section of this painting consists of an opaque transfer of found imagery that in some areas is over-painted in a traditional way.

Specific print publication imagery/content taken for granted in everyday life that continues to reinforce popular mindset inspired this art piece. Comic strip imagery is transferred and layered on canvas to achieve a large area of visual texture. Advertisement imagery serves both as a comment on representational art and the use of the female image to sell a product. The composition is anti-collage, and the erotica is the only aspect that is painted by the artist. Not easily categorized in style and use of medium, this painting will cause the viewer to feel and think differently.
