“Day 28 - 4/11/2020” Blurring. Experimenting. Pushing. Uncomfortable. Keep Pushing. Edit. That was all words swirling through my brain during the creation of this work. I love figurative drawings. Honestly I think the human form is breathtaking especially the female. This quarantine, though unwanted, has allowed me to explore areas of visual art that I scarce thought possible. In particular, I wanted to see how far I could stretch the idea of collage. My favorite style keeps my subject’s face ever present... realistic. But I’ve been exploring deconstruction, assemblage, and more. I typically use the real person’s body as an outline & rebuild with themself. But I have been intrigued by different forms of minimal art. The opposite of what I do. To see if I could make it my own. Line art is a deep love of mine but I never sat down to free hand draw a human form.... until tonight that is. I sought to fill the abstract form with a bit of me. So instead of emptiness or paint, I added brushstrokes with leftover paper in my studio. The result is the first of many figurative forms breathed to life with decoupage. Excited about where this leads. Very excited. RONIM Art Studio, Harlem, NYC.
