Went to see my friend Debra Hampton’s art exhibit last Friday. It was an amazing series of large collages on paper using magazine cut-outs and ink. The fractured figures are full of motion and energy when you look at them from afar. Moving up close reveals that the bodies are made up of cut-out magazine body parts and old-fashioned guns. I love that the pieces work on both levels and encourage you to move up close to the piece and discover more. I think this series asks important questions such as why are we so disconnected from our true selves, our souls, in modern society? Why are we so obsessed with violence? Watch out for more great things from this talented artist.
