Inspired By True Events
An absolutely inspired turn in the extended narrative that is our lives! In this piece I have tried to channel the raw immediacy and emotional height that a news article or television broadcast is unable to capture. I continue to focus on the word contrast, and how this concept can affect an artwork. Here, the sharp, swirling polygonal forms create a violent turbulence that directly plays off of their soft, dream-like, pastel colours. The viewer’s mental space is instantaneously jarred, and they are thrown into the midst of the uninhibited horrors of their reality, and the surreal, instinctual, emotional disconnect that such events call forth. I have diliberately drawn on the cubist aesthetic as a device to warp the viewer’s concept of a sequential time order. Creating the piece within the moment that the real events they depict occur, but using an arguably, archaic visual, that still, however, attaches to itself a sense of future, moves the piece backward and forward through time in a cyclical mess. The viewer is thoroughly disoriented.

Well, I’ve done my job. In any case, if it’s just too artsy for you, the picture is suppose to show Berger’s interpretation of the monster attacking the city.
1. Berger and Daug riding a two-seater bike into the city.
2. Danny Tanner knocked to the ground after being hit by their bike.
3. The three join up and find out that the monster was once Danny’s best friend.
4. The monster is attacking the city.
5. 3 mysterious heroes on the top of a building, ready to confront the monster.
6. A laser beam shooting the monster down.
