Reminds me of Sisyphus’ labor

But “that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.

His name was Kevin. I thought about calling the piece “Kevin” but that would still empower him. He really f’d me up for years and years. But it was the 80s and I guess you were just supposed to deal with it cuz no one was going to help. Not your parents. Not the nuns at school. No one.

Not feeling my usual abstraction vibe today before going back to work tomorrow. So goofed around. “Gacy: Thug Life”. #ink and #watercolor #drawing #artbrut #artpractice

That’s the beautiful part about abstraction: it’s definitely an internal experience that gets outed, for better, for worse, for whatever. Then a strange little voice says “show this to the world”. That’s when the veil of control is pierced and the world gets a hint about who you are.

Pass it on.

The abstraction in JULIE MEHRETU’s work creates space for improvisation and wild imagination, much like jazz music does for Black musicians, even while abstract painting is most often thought of as a white man thing. Which is why

8x10” abstract piece, “Self Portrait”, features deep blues and purples as the background, with bold, swirling strokes of red, pink, and magenta forming a vortex-like shape. The paint is thick and textured in some areas, giving a sense of movement. At the center, a small figure in white and blue emerges from the swirling colors, adding a focal point to the dynamic composition.
