After Basquiat: Fragmented Imagery, Mischievous Thoughts

The Basquiat style gives me the liberty to write commentary, to make connections, to send messages on the face of my artwork. My show "After Basquiat: Fragmented Imagery, Mischievous Thoughts" was an experiment in colour, text, imagery which I adopted to make social commentary and depict a very diverse nation while asking the viewer to examine ourselves, our relationships, the way the world manipulates us and simply to enjoy. The selection of works is a set of thoughts, concerns and observations. Some of these images are accompanied by a QR code that allows the viewer to listen to sound, observe movement and learn more about the work. It is a way of drawing the viewer in.
