No Man’s Land
Arlington Arts Center VA
<\/span>2014
<\/span>Curated by Cynthia Connolly<\/span><\/p>

I started with the idea of No Man’s Land when I realized that my paintings capture the impression of recent disasters or catastrophes. Entering No Man’s Land allows me to investigate all places and landscapes shaped by human intrusion.<\/span><\/p>

A dystopian view of our environment raises inevitable questions of what will be left of our lifestyle? What are the consequences of terrestrial demand and intrusion when we transform our landscapes into manufactured environments? And, is there a difference in appearance between a natural and manufactured landscape when human action renders the land uninhabitable?<\/span><\/p>

My paintings imitate abandoned and decrepit places through the application of tears, cuts, and shreds to the surface of the cardboard. This process reveals layers of corrugation, tattered textures, and dissolving surface conditions. I paint the surface of the cardboard in a free manner while being sure to capture the rendition of details. I prefer a rough and raw mode of spills and sketch-like gestures instead of a polished look. I paint with huge brushes and blades to express the spontaneity of action and gestures of my theme. Each of my works is prepared with sensual textures and uneven surfaces so the viewer may explore the material’s full potential. These strategies provide the basis for No Man’s Land motifs, calling to mind a state of bleakness, neglect, and instability in a dehumanized world.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
