FTP-Z
18 inches x 24 inches
Mixed media with collage, acrylic, paint pen, spray paint and stencil
This piece is from my “Heat” collection, a series of works made in early 2021 that evoke the raw energy of much of the of-the-moment imagery found in today’s “instant gratification” society and on social media and is inspired by modern streetwear, surf & skateboard graphics, flashy sportscars and other strong visual imagery. I looked to use lots of color and bold visual elements to mimic layered artwork often found on skateboard decks, album art, city billboards or aging streetscapes covered in street art, graffiti, stickers, posters and advertisements.
This was the first piece where I incorporated photographs of my two sons, Cameron and Brendan. The name of the work “FTP-Z” is derived from the logo of the hat Brendan is wearing in the center of the piece, plus the bold “Z” I added as a graphical element to his shirt.
