ARTIST STATEMENT
“City Bench Daydreams” was a piece I wanted to do to explore a couple of things that really interested me as an artist. I’ve always found angles to be something exceedingly fun to play around with, always taking pictures that when friends and family saw them they would stop and stare for a bit, sometimes asking what the picture was. This piece opened me up to how angles can be played around with in traditional mediums and opened me up to utilizing unusual points of view. For this piece I wanted to depict the colorful imaginations of someone who had been groggily laying down on a park bench, their dreams and reality mixing into something fun and vibrant. I had only worked with oil pastels a couple of times quite a while back and wanted to play around with the blending and scraping and vibrancy one can obtain with the medium. It is definitely on of my favorite pieces and I’m very excited to have it shown in this art show! |
