Item Description
My paintings of toys are both an investigation of the intersection of formalism, Pop and realism as well as an amusing way for me to remember my childhood. Like most children, I often enjoyed playing with toys. They were my catalysts for friendship, imagination, and ambition: toy robots were shared between cousins, classmates, and me; Lego building blocks helped me visualize worlds beyond my own; I used crayons to realize my passion for art. There was nothing I enjoyed more.
Currently, my art reflects on that joy. I use it as subject while I explore the qualities of paint, composition and how they may enhance the feeling of nostalgia and lost innocence. The paintings are created as colorful but slightly aged artifacts that seem like they have been cut from walls and retained for posterity. This is achieved by layering different colors mixed with a concrete like medium on a surface then incorporating an image on top, ala graffiti. Consequently, my work aims to find connections and transcend boundaries with others who share the same fond memories of childhood. It is this connection that makes my vision complete.
