Just your typical college frat house party. As long as you bring girls or beer it doesn't really matter who you are. Easily blending into the crowd and the smell of stale beer permeates your nostrils. Observe the hero that gets out of control. The soaking wet carpet and the decorated lawn of bottles and cigarette butts. Andrew LeMay Cox Do You Even Party, Bro? ink on scarf 21h x 22w in 53.34h x 55.88w cm ALC003 Andrew LeMay Cox Ink Painting Statement Within these works the exploration of visual storytelling and construction propose challenging questions to the traditions of academic painting. Two components that influence these painting practices are process and narrative. The function of materiality within these works attempts to question traditional methods of paint on canvas. They are constructed using ink that is baked at high temperatures and is assembled by painting on skins. The skins hang loosely from the stretcher and add sculptural properties to 2-dimensional surfaces. The other component is to create an aesthetic narrative that allows the viewer to escape their reality and get lost in themes outside civilizations normality’s. These characters occupy a utopian landscape outside the realms of race, religion, or politics. They ignore social or economic concerns. They are ageless and serendipitous. They sing, dance and make love without cause, limitation or destination.
