this is a new painting i just finished last night. i wanted to bypass the literal perception of things and penetrate an unconscious emotion. red can trigger many emotions such as love and violence and it can also increase the heart rate! i didn't want to have any recognizable object in the painting such as a car, a human, a tree or anything like that, just a jagged edged shape to grab the viewers attention and hold them to the canvas. the canvas is pretty large to give a sence of intimacy with the viewer and try to pull them into the painting. it's amazing to me how color can effect us.
