About this artwork
This provocative artwork boldly captures the essence of contemporary street art with its striking use of color and text. The piece prominently features the phrases "FUCK THIS," "FUCK HIM," and "FUCK THEM" painted in a raw, aggressive font. The choice of black lettering commands attention, while the red strike-throughs add a layer of defiance and rebellion, effectively amplifying the emotional intensity of the message. The background is left intentionally bare, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the powerful statements and the interplay between the text and the vibrant red lines. The artist utilizes a minimalist color palette, which enhances the stark contrast and highlights the urgency of the sentiment expressed. The work is a daring exploration of frustration and resistance, embodying a spirit of unapologetic authenticity. It challenges traditional artistic boundaries, using language as a tool of expression and resistance. This piece is not only a visual experience but also a commentary on societal discontent, inviting viewers to reflect on the underlying emotions and implications. By harnessing the energy of street art aesthetics, the artwork resonates with a broad audience, making it a compelling and thought-provoking piece in any modern art collection.

About the artist
I have come to a realization about myself and my art. I am impatient and I have need for instant gratification. I get frustrated with time consuming traditional techniques and want to skip ahead to the end. It is for these reasons that I am a series artist. I like to experiment with new ideas until I am satisfied with the result then I move on to a new one. Sometimes the result can lead the next series. The inspiration for a lot my work is in the trying of the new techniques. Having freedom of expression and not being limited to one style of making art are paramount to my identity as an artist.
