A series of three 24" x 24" mixed-media art on wood panel, this work is an exploration of the countercultural and iconoclastic spirit, using spray paint, acrylic, enamel, and collage to channel a defiant 'age of dissent.' The composition centers on fragmented, halftone-dot portraits of powerful musicians—overlaid with an intense, neon-hued graffiti-and-splatter background. Cassette tapes and 45 records added to represent my introduction to each genre anchoring the pieces in my lived experience within NYC hardcore and punk culture.
In a world of digital algorithms, these pieces are an assertion of the messy, analog, and heroic soul of human inspiration.
Material: Enamel, acrylic, collage, ink, oil stick on a wood base. 24" x 24"
