KOOL AID

Picture
Kool-Aid, Oil on Canvas, 12x20, 2019
I thought of this while on social media, thinking that everyone is drinking Kool Aid of one of two flavors and losing touch with reality. This led to the following series of pieces on the Kool-Aid/Red/Blue theme.
Picture
Pick Your Poison, Two-Sided Panel, 12x8x4, 2019
Choose a side and drink up!
Picture
Rescued Kool-Aid, Oil on Canvas, 40x32, 2019
This piece focuses on the fractured nature of our republic.
Picture
Political, Oil on Canvas, 26x24, 2019
A piece illustrating the modern tendency to assign political interpretations to all things: even the most common of objects. Look closely to see the reflection of George Washington in the picture frame.

Honorable Mention, Visual Arts Alliance Show, Houston, TX, May, 2020.
Picture
Colors, Oil on Canvas, 10x18, 2019
A work regardingthe politicization of the culture and its division into red and blue with little allowance for other colors. The use of crayons raises questions about the influence this has on children and their education/indoctrination.
