The Organic Mechanic (version 4)

This piece looks like a rather distressed and urgent abstract. I felt satisfied with the results I manipulated in photoshop to seduce out the dramatic and psychedelic qualities laying hidden in the original drawing. I named it The Organic Mechanic because the gradients and color transitions are more organic and natural rather than perfectly pixelated and mathematically calculated. I think our authoritarian social media rulers should take note of this character and remove the unnaturally selective algorithms they have restrained the world with. 

This picture looks like a scene of destruction to me. It’s completely abstract though. The skeletal structure resembles a dilapidating building or dead shrub somewhere on a prairie or desert landscape. I’m all about seeing through things, like having x-ray vision. I like finding metaphors within metaphors, and, when it comes to art, I find visual metaphors. They can become quite universal like the spine of a book articulating all of its pages. 

I feel obligated to write more about this piece, but I don’t know what else to write. I just spontaneously pulled out some sable brushes, a jar of water, and my watercolors and freely applied some colorful strokes to an 11 by 14 inch page in one of my sketchbooks one night. I then applied ink from a pen that I knew would bleed beautifully under the influence of water then stroked over it with a large flathead sable brush. Just thinking about those brushes makes me feel good vibes.
