Please include a short description of what your proposed exhibit will be about. |
In 2016 after working as an artist in various mediaThe opportunity to paint presented itself and I began “The First HUNDRED PAINTING Series”. Inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s 2008 book "Outliers," which claims that "ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness." I trusted the importance of putting the time and commitment into the work without judgment. Below are more recent samples of completed canvases. I just reached the halfway mark in the project. For this proposed exhibition, I plan to incorporate newly created and older works as a way of exposing the development of this project and process. I believe “The First Hundred Painting Series” (TFHPS) demonstrates what it means to start something new and explore becoming a beginner again. At this moment when change is front and center, being reminded how to start again and try new things is the real lesson in TFHPS. |
