Let's Start a Band

Description

“Let's Start a Band” 40” X 30” X 2” Mixed Media on a Cradled Wood Panel, Framed Let's Start a Band presents a structured yet fluid interaction between human presence and musical symbolism, rendered through a cubist lens that balances abstraction with recognizable form. Behind the four figures, a sheet of musical notation subtly anchors the composition, inviting contemplation of rhythm and harmony beyond the visual. The background’s interplay of warm and cool block colors enhances the painting’s layered complexity. The work quietly echoes the spirit of collaboration and shared creativity, reflecting influences drawn from The Beatles’ enduring legacy. Without invoking a literal narrative, it captures the essence of musical synergy and the shaping of identity through communal expression, all articulated through a modernist vocabulary that respects both tradition and innovation. This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of "Faces and Facades," a series of mixed media paintings where people and places intertwine, with architecture serving as a vessel for unseen narratives. Inspired by a character from a Beatles songs, each work aims to evoke the stories and emotions hidden beneath the surface, inviting viewers to look beyond the obvious and discover the deeper layers within.
