awakening (2006)

Here's another one in which I'm exploring with styles long deceased. I think I did this one back in 06. I was mostly playing with layering acrylics and building up layers of texture at the time. This is one of the few examples of works that I have done in which I built up texture pieces that actually break off of the mainframe of the canvas. I chalk it up to an arrogant young artist who couldn't confine himself to the conventional rectalinear format of the canvas; one who had to chart his own path outside the restrictive grid and forge new territories in aesthet......(ouch)Sorry someone just punched me.
