CANVAS 1

If you’re wondering if I have a favorite piece in my new Hoop Dreams collection, it’s this one right here. It’s the first canvas I worked on in the collection. 

When the year started, I wrote down some goals and one of them was to create a series of 4 canvas works. When I approached this collection, I had that in mind as well as incorporating acrylic paint + modeling paste (which I started using this year), focusing on repetition in the work, adding a lot of different colors and vibrancy, and adding different elements to create a texture on the base of the canvas. 

If you could see these works up close, you would notice the texture immediately. I purposely created a gritty texture because of the gritty energy you had to play with if you’re hooping in Philly. I was a small guard, so I always had to play with a chip on my shoulder. You can’t hoop in Philly and be soft. 

I’m from Philly where it get gritty at, so I used that to my advantage and put it on a canvas.
