Funkadelic Fantasy

Title
Funkadelic Fantasy
Artist
Douglas Fromm
Medium
Mixed Media - Acrylic And Collage On Canvas
Description
I covered a 20 by 24 inch canvas with green acrylic, then squirted some lime green and red orange lines straight out of the paint tubes in random squiggles. Then I collaged hand cut paper images and scraps in an attempt to create some order out of the chaos.
In a private collection in Ontario Canada.

Douglas! I am sorry I am a brat! I really do hope you were not offended by my off the cuff comment? By the way - I work in a similar fashion to you - I am blown away by artists that can start painting in one corner and work their way to the bottom and call it done. I need layers and sweat and time to think and destroy and rebuild while I create... like the tree analogy but way less eloquent :) So... I'll try to be better behaved... but a dude that likes Robert Crumb? Probably doesn't mind badly behaved women? :)

Douglas - I'm not sure what you were going for here but I know you are against things being "pretty" so here are my thoughts. I think this is extremely thought provoking and it makes me imagine a freaky turtle head emerging from a shell of frat house vomit. I mean that with great love and admiration of your beautiful mind and the analogy of this work is fully on the eye of the beholder, not the creator. I hope you take this with the humor I intended because I am an enormous fan of your work! :)

What an exceptional comment, to be filed in my Comments Hall of Fame !....( if there was such a thing ). What I was going for was something that I occasionally do to challenge my creativity....start out with something random (in this case the acrylic squiggles) and then adding colored shapes and allowing them to organically “grow” into a harmonious balance. Another way of describing it might be similar to sketching a tree’s trunk, then adding branches, limbs, leaves, and bark....perhaps even roots. No messages were intended. I think that one of the wonderful things about non-representational art is that viewers see visual images but their minds process them into mental images. Artists create stimulus, viewers provide response. Your response to this “FunkaDelic” stimulus mystified me for a moment. Then I looked at my image on my I-Pad while reading your response on my I-Pad and it made perfect sense ! Thank you for such a “stimulating” response !!
