About The Original Painting
Painting Title: NOLA
Created: 2016
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 20" x 16"
Celebrate the spirit of New Orleans through this creative piece from the Beautiful Bodies series, where skeletal figures come together to form the iconic letters "NOLA." Each figure bends and stretches to create this living typography, their bodies forming a dynamic tribute to the city's vibrant culture of celebration and community.
Each skeletal form contributes to both the literal spelling and the metaphorical meaning of NOLA. The figures' playful poses and collaborative positioning reflect the joyful, interconnected nature of New Orleans culture, where celebration becomes a form of community expression. Their collective effort to spell out the city's beloved nickname creates a visual love letter to this unique place.
This artwork belongs to the broader Beautiful Bodies collection, a series that invites viewers to embrace the meditation "Be In Your Body and See with Your Heart." The skeletal forms symbolize our fundamental connection to nature and our ancestors, while the featured hearts represent our innate capacity for nurturing relationships through shared celebration.
The artist's thoughtful color palette carries deep symbolism throughout the piece: black tones ground the work in wisdom, white elements emphasize our universal interconnection, and red accents pulse with passionate energy.
This piece continues the historical artistic tradition of "memento mori," joining a legacy of macabre celebrations of life and death that spans from neolithic art to contemporary works. However, it transcends the traditional somber tone of this genre by infusing it with the playful spirit and joy that defines New Orleans culture.
Perfect for lovers of New Orleans, typography enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates creative celebrations of place, this print serves as a unique tribute to the city's special character. The dynamic composition invites viewers to discover how each figure contributes to the whole, much like the diverse elements that make New Orleans uniquely magical.
Materials and Technique:
The composition artfully combines layers of black, ethereal washes of color, and varied dots and lines, complemented by subtle touches of realism.
