Let's Go To The Beach

Acrylic, paper, glue on gallery canvas.

48x48x1.50"

A meditation on escape and the desire to reach somewhere else. The tiny car represents the individual: small but purposeful, moving across an almost empty world toward a place filled with color and life.
There is also something wonderfully childlike about the imagery—a little car, an oversized sun, a beach umbrella—yet the minimalist composition makes it feel more philosophical.
The work could be about the journey being more important than the destination, or about holding onto a simple dream of getting away from the emptiness of everyday life.
The enormous white space is perhaps the most important element. Rather than filling the canvas, the artist leaves most of it empty. This creates a feeling of silence, anticipation, isolation, and possibility.
