As an abstract art photographer, I am constantly searching for the quiet poetry that lurks in the traces of time and decay. This work, titled "Weathered Power," captures the raw beauty often overlooked in urban settings. The vibrant red and black tones contrast sharply with the weathered grey background, evoking a sense of energy and dynamism. The textures and colours in this picture are reminiscent of the powerful expressiveness of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the subtle, layered approaches of Cy Twombly.
Basquiat's work is known for its raw, unpolished style and use of vibrant colours to convey powerful messages. Like Basquiat, in my photography I try to uncover the unseen beauty and stories hidden in everyday urban landscapes. Twombly's ability to combine texture and abstraction to create a sense of time and decay also has a profound influence on my work.
"Weathered Power" invites the viewer to reflect on the beauty in decay and the stories behind weathered surfaces. By hanging this work on your wall, you not only bring a piece of urban poetry into your home, but also create a topic of conversation that celebrates the power of abstract art and the aesthetics of the ephemeral. It is a reminder that art is all around us, even in the most unexpected places.
