Title: Bogged Down by Mindlessness // Artist: Lo Coleman

about the piece

In this piece, the artist sought to utilize a limited and randomized color palette by picking a few custom colors premixed from former artistic projects. These premixed acrylic paints were then paired with the use of a ballpoint pen to help clarify some detail and add a sense of grit. This painting is based in a sense of nostalgia for the artist, representing a personal breakdown of their relationship with home while also making a broader statement about our ideological degradation as a society.
