Title “Here and Now” Year 2023 Medium Acrylics, Ink & Charcoal on Canvas Size 30 in x 40 in x 1.5 in
Here and Now is a striking abstract composition that explores themes of human connection and presence. The painting features elongated, faceless figures rendered in bold black outlines, their forms dissolving into a vibrant, layered background of yellow, green, and blue hues. The interplay between opacity and translucency, along with expressive brushwork and gestural drips, suggests movement and fluidity, evoking a sense of impermanence and interaction. The arrangement of figures, some clustered together and others standing apart, creates a dynamic narrative of community, solitude, and coexistence. The warm orange and yellow tones juxtaposed against cooler greens and blues add depth and emotional contrast, reinforcing the ephemeral nature of the moment captured. This work invites viewers to reflect on presence, identity, and the ways we relate to one another in shared spaces.
