Sent from my iPhone 6

Sent from my iPhone 6, 2014. 24"x 36". Acrylic, pencil, charcoal on canvas.

This painting, like a Snapchat pic that lasts only seconds, follows themes of impermanence. The Dutch still-lifes, filled to the brim with frothy blooming flowers reminded the viewer to think on life, because like the fresh petal one day it would dry and turn to dust. I've appropriated the phrase from Basquiat paintings. I also explore ideas of going forward and backward in time - iPhone 6 hasn't been released yet, and its a painting not a pic from a cell phone app, sort of archaic painting content: a flower still life, drawn over in a style resembling Photoshop or MS Paint.
