#abstractthought

“Ovid; The Empires”; 60 x 48 inches; acrylic polymer, ink, vinyl, oil on canvas. Part of the Un-civilized series. In this series of paintings I use abstraction to translate the outcomes of social constraints, creating sharp edges and then blurring those boundaries with painterly passages. Publius Ovidius Naso was a Roman poet who was extremely popular, And yet emperor Augustus banished him to the Black Sea until his death. It seems to be a pattern that when an empires is on the cusp of falling it begins to eliminate its culturally rich contributors. I often think about why abstraction is the perfect vehicle for visually articulating the feel of an event or experience the artist wants to convey. For me I love the challenge of letting the brush, form and colors do the talking. It’s also important to me that the painting takes on many narratives, not just the one it started with.

Float • Myk Martinez It seemed like such a simple concept, brush strokes of paint floating, casting shadows, minimalism. It was not. Color choice was the first issue. Then painting the right strokes so they would actually look like something. Balancing the strokes on the page. Casting the shadows was also hard. Trying to match my original strokes. So frustrating. But, I think it turned out pretty cool. Some people won’t consider it art. But the people who do… get it.
