Though very minimalist lines can break open a space or Idea. As Barnett Newman20coined the word "Zips" to describe many of his lines in his paintings the line can bring upon many emotions. The basic Ideas of these two paintings allow the viewer to actually be drawn into it. The lines and space within can be perceived differently by whoever views it, but still at the same time are just l ines within a canvas.

Within this photo montage are different shots of the cities buildings in different lights with a fisheye lens. Each shot is of a different building and perspective looking up. Even though each picture is different they all have the same prevalent feeling, just how small we are in this little world of ours.

My name is "WASE" aka WASTED" I'm in a very dark period of my life and I was able to find the strength to convey my feelings through canvas. I found relief through spray cans, acrylics, brushes and markers. The artwork I am currently displaying is part of a series titled "I STILL LOVE HERS". These paintings represent heartache and how I translate that impact in my life onto canvas.

I would like to dedicate my paintings to HERS…….

My work focuses on imagination ... my imagination is in the fantastic.

I work in many mediums but oil and acrylic painting are magnetic. I derive much of my influence from music, human behavior and other artists.

My life as an artist began as a toddler when I was given a box of crayons
and methodically melted them one by one on the radiator to
see the colors run. I have grown into more conventional mediums, but still kept my love of color.
Telling stories through paint has always been my way, I am an illustrator by nature. I have always been interested in photo-realism incorporating the themes of antiquity and paradox.
Most of my work utilizes representations of living figures, whether realistic or decorative, in combination with still life subjects. This is
in order to celebrate the juxtaposition of the transient and the eternal. Art is one of the few ways I feel we have to extend the brevity of the human lifespan, and potentially touch the future.

I love to fill my heart up to the tippy top with all the love and pain life shall bring..... Then just slap it onto a canvas. I've been an artist since diaper days, and I feel I haven't even started yet. I'm in love with learning all I possibly can in the art world!!!

The oil paintings from this series, entitled "Shades of Meaning", reflect my interest in the visual nuance of color and the numerous lingual connotations that can attributed to each hue. By integrating stenciled words and a flat ground of saturated paint, I focus attention on the relationship between color and language, eliminating any pictorial context. In doing so I draw attention to the potency with which language and color influence our perceptions. Collectively viewed, these paintings examine the multiplicity of symbolic and vernacular language associated with a specific color. I began this series after meditating upon the color green, realizing that in the English language I could immediately associate ten words with this shade. This series has since grown to become an analysis of eleven different colors and over 50 words associated with them.
