“RED RIM BLUES”
Red Rim Blues investigates the silent power and emotional resonance of things unspoken. Its lighting schemes and midnight blue shadows create a compositional atmosphere of confidence and sensitivity - where the artist, or personality, lives somewhere between boastful and lonely. Thus, the red cap serves as a quasi-musical reference - an optical heartbeat through an otherwise blackened medium - to support identity and presence among the canvassed portraits to ensure they're all people like you and me. Thus, these are images living between coolness and loneliness, capturing what stance, expression, and shadow say in the name of what's unspoken. Red Rim Blues boasts identity informed not by performance but honesty when darkness reigns supreme and the subject is the only one under the spotlight.
