"A Complicated Life II"


Two and a half months in the making, comes today's depicted work "A Complicated Life, II."  The work is categorized as a "Hyper-Complex Abstract Compositional." This piece was created using Oil Pastel, Gouache & Acrylic and placed on a 30 x 48" Canvas.

Metaphysics and the Conceptual:

Beyond the works intensely complex geometric framework and hyper compositional elements, it was additionally specifically designed to represent the sense of one human life. In essence, what "everyone" goes though during their duration here on earth. Regardless of your position or station here, your family background or genetics, your life is destined to be a roller coaster ride. It is the one universal and undeniable connection we have with every other human being on this planet. No matter how well you believe your "plan" is going, guaranteed, there will be both minor and major events occurring to alter it.

A Complicated Life - Work I

Today's featured artwork is actually the second work within this art and life concept. "A Complicated Life I," shown below, was built in approximately 2010 with a very similar creative ideology. I wanted to to somehow visually represent what we all go through in our brief but intense stay here on earth.

You will notice that though both pieces offer complex designs, they are quite different artistically. The first piece (shown below), has by design a more biological nature and feel to the work. At the time in 2010, I was doing a great deal of biological abstraction. This piece was a foray in part into creating what became an ongoing series entitled "See Life." 

The "See Life" series within itself is an amazing story, and a brand new art form. Each work is a composite of abstracted micro to macro life forms set within a geometric composite. Many of you know this work as I have shown it and discussed it prior. For today though, we will stop for now on this discussion and get back to "A Complicated Life II."


I have found these types of works most stimulating to both conceive and build. I plan on constructing further works like this over time, as they do take time to concept and then build. My ongoing goal will stay true to the mission, to reference both the complexity of life and living, and equally with that of higher art as well.

I hope you have enjoyed your viewing and brief discussion on today's featured work entitled "A Complicated Life, II."
