Intrigued by the ephemeral and ever-changing nature of street art I am employing mixed traditional art techniques with street art aesthetics creating images that reveal a layer through a multi layered process of torn paper and multi layers of paint. This work is part of the series Urban Flora, inspired by the oasis that NYC parks provide against the urban backdrop of fragmented skyscraper facades. Joyous, optimistic and expressive of strength that writes a new narrative, it features delicious, high texture and Pantone Color of the Year 2023 18-1750 Viva Magenta, a color that revels pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint. The name of the title color derives from the Greek kokkos=berry. It is created on a grid composed of 20 panels, measuring 10"x8" each, that represent building windows and can be installed with or without gap between them. Sides are painted for a finished look. Signed. Ready to hang on stretched canvas.
