Basketball

Basketball 36" x 12" (acrylic on canvas)

This piece was one of my earlier works, it was actually my first piece that I used the splatter paint technique. There is a very explosive feeling to this particular piece. The first thing that came to mind when creating this piece was the image of a basketball exploding. The bold colors and the violent marks create the explosive feeling. This piece is somewhat a reflection of the sport itself. There is a lot of movement and energy in this piece, similar to the sport of basketball. When I made this piece I wasn't conscious of the correlation between the two. It wasn't till after that I made this connection.
