“Your Choice” Minimalism

I really enjoy making minimalist pieces, they take more time than you think.  The concept for this is very simple; do you choose to be happy or do you choose to be unhappy.  The choice is ultimately yours to face.        

Atlas the Titan

When the Titans lost the war against the Olympians, as punishment Zeus had Atlas go to the edge of earth and hold up Uranus(I know…its a funny planet name)  So in this piece I have Atals doing just that though I added chains.  Why chains?  I thought it looked cool 🙂

Comic Panel Mini Series

These were Inspired by the Sin City comic book artist Frank miller.  The first piece represents our general lives.  Written in the top corners is, “What do you have when you’re gone” with the word “Nothing” filling in the canvas space.  The first Panel focuses on Love, Lust and sex.  Panel two represents material items.  I used currency because its so dominant in all our lives.  Panel three is a large explosion, representing death and loss. The quote from this next piece was written by a band called, “The Aesthetic” in a song called, “Alive”.  The quote says, “Now I lay you down to sleep, I take from you your soul to keep.  If you die before you wake, your soul is mine alone to take”. The word “BANG” then covers the canvas space with a man pointing a revolver.  Basically someone is about to die,  circumstances are unknown its really up for the viewer to decide.  The possibilities are endless.  

A Very Sad Umbrella

The inspiration for this piece came to me when I was on my way home from work in the city.  It was cold and rainy outside and one of the peddlers near the on ramp had an umbrella.  Due to the lighting outside all you saw was his silohuette.  For a brief moment you could see all the city lights behind him reflecting into the  rain puddles.  That triggered this very minimalist piece.
