Hurly Burly
2013
acrylics, marker on wood
13x43 in.
I made this painting in my senior year of high school, a period when I started getting a feel for what style of art I really wanted to focus on. I experimented with many different mediums and styles in my schooldays, and even from very early on, I was drawn to stylish lettering, expressive brush strokes and vibrant colors. This piece was born from the sketch shown below, and I also included a shot of the planning that went into the spacing and measurements for the lettering. The phrase was taken from lyrics from the song "Hurly Burly" by Perfume.
