Description
Artist StatementBy PIXELSTUD
My interest in art spawned from an isolated rural childhood in which books, Madonna, plastic toys, consumer culture and the surrounding redwood forest stoked an active imagination.
Over and over again, I concocted a variety of alternate, complimentary worlds to the one I lived in: a LEGO city (featured in the book: Wierd Rooms by A. Vertikoff), hand written comics, hundreds of made-up action figures illustrated on 3x5 cards, imaginary corporations plotted on graph paper, workflows of sociological friend maps, pyramids and towns made out of wood and earth, floor plans for shopping malls, and skyscrapers so tall they could only be drawn on the longest rolls of butcher paper.
Today, I paint with a technique that feels true to that legacy. I apply acrylic to canvas but forego the traditional brush for a plastic LEGO brick. The blocky brush leaves behind a series of analog acrylic pixels as a footprint.
