Kickin Out is a powerful and visually striking collage and oil painting that delves into themes of violence, justice, and human anatomy. The artwork features two men wearing baseball hats kicking, one man fallen to the ground, surrounded by dead bodies with organs exposed. I was inspired by recent events such as the verdict of Kyle Rittenhouse and the ongoing war in Ukraine, using these emotional triggers to create a profound and thought-provoking piece. Through a unique blend of political statement and poetic visual imagery, Kickin Out challenges viewers to confront difficult truths and contemplate the complexities of the world we live in. The use of collage techniques adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing the overall impact of the artwork.
