The Bare Collective

The Bare Collective is part of my Abstract Figurative series that combines an evolution of my process featuring representational figurative elements with multiple abstract layers.

Loosely inspired by Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon this work also combines multiple bold, street inspired  layers capturing elements inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. In addition, the letters are representative of the work of Jaume Plensa whose large scale sculptures like Nomade in Des Moines inspire me by their use of negative space.
