Fringe with Benefits

Color is defined as the quality of hercules classic silver web cam an object or substance with respect to the light reflected by the object. Without light there is no color.

As long as there is light, there will always be color. Even the deepest, darkest value of a hue is not and will never be black. No color can bypass the spectrum.

Color react to each other in the same way humans do: they push and pull each other, compliment, go together well, interact, clash, take each other’s space, provide space, stir emotion or the lack thereof, terrorize, harmonize, beautify, destroy, balance, create disarray, orchestrate chaos, but more importantly, seek to sturgis web cam live co-exist.

Color over 50 singles ct can also represent emotions, hence the creation of the so-called mood rings and other pop culture kitsch. There is a color for jealousy, ecstasy, joy, excitement, mystery, peace, anger and web cam freezes with sd card so forth.

Each human experience can also be likened to color which will always be subject to a myriad of interpretations and variations. All experiences have corresponding gravity and all stories have more than one side.

For this series I painted portraits of people who surround me, with the inclusion of myself, who have undergone or are in the process of overcoming obstacles in their lives. These are people in my immediate circle who are being pushed to the brink and are sitting on life’s fringes.

When we are overcome with obstacles, we can look at it two ways; one would be the practical view of it which is us being devoid of light or hope or we can view it as an opportunity to repaint our lives anew with and endless selection of color that can redefine who we are. Either way is an entelechy that will set how our lives will proceed.

Each portrait has subtleties be it in the selection of color assigned to the person to the minute differences in teen sex web sites the brush strokes that created them. All could go unnoticed or could be http://ddid.ca/yz/yahoo-free-online-dating-sites-aqpt telltale signs of the stories behind each face. Included too are pillows that are physical representations of the subjects and their experiences.

The use of the color wheel is highly evident in the works and represent how inter-related our experiences are and how we are as human beings – that one cannot do without the other and one could always create a reaction. We will always encounter darkness but we can always find the light that will show us who we really are.

All works are done in oil on canvas.
