"Tampa Live" 12 x 18 inch Limited Edition of 25 prints on paper
"Tampa Live" is an abstract narrative pastel drawing that was created
during the live music/magic/art event at the 2008 SLCC in Tampa. The
artwork consists of imagery of the musicians, song lyrics, and vibe of
the night. One can see depictions of Lyndon Heart, Cylindrian Rutabaga,
Kyle Beltran, Tuna Oddfellow, Apple Mackay, and Eladon Galsworthy, the dude who
was walking around with a sign that said he was getting an avatar
makeover by SL friends. There also is interprative imagery of the
carpeting, stage, signs, instruments, audience, chairs, and other
aspects of the event location.
On more of an artistic note...
The composition reflects bilateral symmetry which relates to the idea of duality and what
happens when the real and virtual worlds come together. I draw influences from Picaso, Kandinsky and Basquiat in this piece with the use of grafiti, cubist perspectives, and musical rhythms in shapes found in positive and negative space
intervals. I always embrace the tactile qualities of the medium I'm
working with such as smudges, smears, erasure marks and crisp lines
that celebrate the use of pastels.
