"By Any Means" fits perfectly in your modern, urban loft or your beautiful modern classic styled home. This painting is a statement piece that is real, gritty and emotes life's desire and urge through a vivid amalgamation of red, orange, green, gold, black, and white. AND, it's not just one painting, but four in one! Experience the versatility of this extraordinary artwork – hang it in any direction you desire, and watch as it adapts effortlessly to your changing life and surroundings. Transform your bedroom year one, then infuse your foyer with its dynamic energy in year two! With this painting, the possibilities are endless, ensuring that it remains an ever-evolving masterpiece in your home. The title, "By Any Means," encapsulates the essence of this painting, signifying the determination to navigate and thrive through varied circumstances. This piece is motivated by a profound desire to evoke the spirit of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and the dynamic synergy that emerges when disparate elements are brought together with intention and creativity! This artwork seeks to convey a visual and emotional narrative that celebrates the spirit of adaptability and the vibrant beauty born from the synthesis of contrasting forces. Through the abstract expressionist collage approach, viewers are invited to engage with the diverse textures, shapes, and colors that reflect the complexity of the human experience. The collage technique introduces an additional layer of symbolism, highlighting the power of adaptability and the beauty found in embracing different facets of life. The absence of a clear, defined representation allows each observer to interpret the painting in their unique way, fostering a personal connection with the message of resilience, creativity, and the celebration of diverse elements coming together. Choice of colors: The choice of red, orange, green, gold, black, and white is deliberate and symbolic, representing a spectrum of emotions, experiences, and possibilities. Red and orange embody passion and vibrancy, green signifies growth and balance, gold symbolizes richness and achievement, while black and white create contrast and visual depth, echoing the yin and yang of existence. Medium: Acrylic paint and graphite on canvas. Size:  16” W x 40” H x 1.5” - sides have been finished to match the surface, to ensure visual consistency from all sides.   Hanging Recommendations: "By Any Means" is stretched on gallery wrapped canvas. It was created on a 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas and will arrive ready to hang.  Signature: "By Any Means" can be hung in four directions - painting has been signed on side profile to facilitate hanging flexibility. If you'd like the painting signed on the front surface, please send a request after purchasing the painting.
