I am an emerging nonbinary queer artist working in acrylic and watercolor paints, creating abstract expressionist paintings, and a graphic designer with over a decade of experience. I currently live and create art in Queens, NY.
My work focuses on the contrast between urban life and nature. I am inspired by concrete walls overgrown by ivy and tree branches, train underpasses covered in graffiti and grass, a strong New York summer rainstorm beating against my window, the decaying Red Hook warehouses, tiny alleys, and the way the air smells on the first few days of September. I consider it to be an eco-brutalist approach to expressionism, a marriage between organic textures and urban visuals.
More of my work can be seen on my website www.darkreconstructionart.com and on my instagram www.instagram.com/darkreconstruction
I am attaching some examples of my work for your consideration. I create on a variety of surfaces – anything from scrap cardstock, all the way up to storefront gates. If it stands still long enough, I’ll paint something on it.
