Woah

In the words of the great Morpheus…“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world.”

Maybe you’ve felt the pressures of society, family, schools, work… to conform and to fit in. To live and operate in ways that simply don’t feel “right.”

Maybe you’ve felt that your desires aren’t valid. Like the success you’ve achieved was somehow wrong or illegitimate. Like your desires are too much, unreasonable, and not allowed.

This painting is an example of this feeling… it just flowed out of me, simply, smoothly, intuitively, easily. There’s a voice that says things shouldn’t be that easy.

But I say f*ck it, yes they can. Does this resonate with you?

I lost count how many layers and paintings are on this canvas. I had a piece on this canvas titled “Woah” for 2 years. I kept looking at it in my studio, thinking that maybe someone would love it. I was never really sure about it.

In late 2023, I painted over it with some left over paint leaving it in an unfinished state which would force me to someday finish this piece in a way that I truly liked it.

When I came back from Japan in April 2024, I was inspired to work with subtleties in blue, ranging into the purples and magentas. The final layer of this piece captures the range of colors and still captures the rectangular composition of the previous painting that used to be on this canvas.
