Feb 4-28, 2020 I will be showing all 12 of my Ink on panel portraits in the Cilker Art Gallery on the campus of West Valley College in Saratoga, CA.
The intent of this series is to portray individuals as the
embodiment of strength and pride standing in defiance in the face of oppression and fear by a power against them. With the current social and political environment and the recent acts that repeat past abuse and injustice I am attempting to view historic events in the context of the contemporary climate.
I research and reference the text from government documents,
declarations or other forms of institutional communication and use the words as my mark to render each person with the very words that affect them. Using the word as a building block in the formation of the image does not label or define the subject by the words being used, instead the words are blended together and blurred and they are transformed from a label to a broader gesture that is used to define a new visual standard of
vitality and beauty. #ink #portrait #westvalleycollege #cilkerartgallery #laartist #compassion #hopeandstrength #artwork #creative #contemporaryart
