Cleo Davidowitz
My mixed media works convey the intensity and pain of the human condition through the physical manifestation of "scars". The colors bleed across the white backdrop, creating a sense of injury. The keys, which interact with the scars and colors, are the anonymous subjects of the works, symbolizing the human experience. I use wood panels to maintain an unrefined aesthetic, expressing a connection between human emotion and nature. The relatively minimalistic style of the pieces focuses the viewer's attention on the scars and the bloody, bruise-like paint, allowing the audience to project their own emotions and experiences onto the artwork.
