Being Alienated & Out Of System 003

Surfaceless Painting hung on strecher bars from the Alienation Series.

Realizing that painting surpasses the need for a canvas or any surface, I delved into the liberating concept of painting directly onto paint itself. Freed from spatial constraints, I discovered the boundless potential of this approach, utilizing the raw physicality of the paint material. No longer confined to predetermined areas, I allowed the paint to dictate its own form, creating dynamic interplays between foreground, background, and negative space.

As my exploration deepened, I expanded beyond merely hanging dried paint, pushing the boundaries of this unconventional medium. Embracing the history of painting through the symbol of the stretcher bars I let the paint matterial hang  hang freely, defying gravity and convention.

It seems that the more I push my art differently the more alien my art becomes. Such is the price for doing things in other ways, and therefore being out of system.

It is a parallel of my own identity in today’s world order.
