Urban Self-Portrait
Acrylic spray paint on wood panel
Collaborating with technology and inspired by elevated street art, the artist has created a three-dimensional skeletal self-portrait using religious imagery to explore his own internal conflicts with spirituality. He holds aloft a spraycan lit like candle, embracing art as his power and light against the urban chain-linked backdrop.
