Sporange

This week’s image is a return to the comic book style art I used to enjoy as a kid.   As a result, I think it’s one of my most playful images yet.  It is also clearly inspired by the artwork of Roy Lichtenstein, an artist I have always found interesting.  Best of all, the inspiration for creating this artwork came from a comical incident that happened to me.  I attempted to flick a fruit fly that was irritating me and missed…also cutting my finger in the process—which bled everywhere.  I then imagined the fruit fly was some sort of supervillain and this might finally be my superhero origin!  I came up with the name “Sporange”…the only word that rhymes with orange (something a fruit fly arch villain might plot to steal).
 
The image also continues with the theme of PPE as it includes both rubber gloves and a mask…but this time they are more incorporated into my superhero costume.  However, the most interesting aspect to the image, for me, was the play with symmetry.  A number of my images over the past 6 months have been dealing with symmetry...most notably the Rubber Glove Angels, which are mandala shaped.  This time I tried to push and pull at the symmetrical balance in ways that might cause some visual impact.   Rather than explain it all, I will leave that exploration to the viewer. Nuff Said.
