Where I post an artwork (by me) that I'd like to draw attention to (for a week), and write a little extra information about it.
This week's artwork: Flame In Vacuum
This was one of the (relatively) few paintings that I completed in 2011. Conceptually quite simple and unremarkable in technical terms (I didn't use any difficult or experimental techniques to paint it), it has nevertheless become a sort of "motto painting," if you will. I often find myself going back to it to use as a positive example of simplicity in design, as a profile picture, or simply for inspiration. I think this is at least partly because it endures as a metaphor. I, of all people, know all too well what it's like to be creative and freakish in a world of dull conformist indifference - almost like a lit match floating in empty space, with naught but the stars for company.
