Rothko Cartoon Mashup
Digitally drawn and printed on canvas, 2019
_________________________________________________________________________________________
This piece is a mashup of the painting titled "Yellow Band" by Mark Rothko and a Krabby Patty from the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. Rothko has a very distinct style of abstract expressionist painting. He uses color, soft shapes -- mostly rectangles -- and the space around them to evoke an emotional or spiritual response from the viewer. This piece that I created combines that style with a reference from pop culture and is intended to be the size of most of Mark Rothko work, almost floor to ceiling in height, in order to pull the viewer in and allow them to find their own meaning in it.
actual size is 15in X 15in
The following time-lapse video shows the process of how this piece was created.
