About this series:

This is the first painting of a series of 10 large works I am currently working on. It still is part of my subway sonnet series as the textures and surfaces are the same but there are new elements. The inspiration for this struck me when I reminisced about the old posters that I remember on the walls of New York City's subways and streets. These posters, while featuring beautiful imagery, had weathered the test of time, displaying fading, erosion, graffiti, and various textures. I've always found perfection and unblemished beauty somewhat dull. It's the amalgamation of these weathered elements that I find nostalgic and perfectly balanced.

As I continue to work on this series, I realized that the theme of strong women emerged, much like in many of my other works.

This painting is created with an ink transfer technique and then built upon with thick pigment sticks, paper, and more. The entire surface is sealed with a protective varnish. The painting ships rolled but can be shipped stretched for an additional price. If you are interested in it being shipped stretched please contact me or Saatchi Art's curatorial team for pricing.
