What is Power About?
Untitled. @Reserved by, #katievFlowers at www.funkysak.com. Mural. Approx. 8ft x 5ft. Unframed.
The ability to communicate a complete thought to the majority using only symbolism.
What is this piece about? That's a very a good question. The original title is Power. However, as the Artist I'm not really sure if that name fits it as it is a work in progress I began in early 2015. The Mural is nicely large created on the surface of a wood panel approx. 8ft x 5ft and less than 1/2 inches thick. Using Pencil, Mark
Every item, or figure that is placed, or will be placed into the composition is symbolic for something. Such as, the Afro representational for a time of rebellious acts in regards to a group of people, or society fighting to have self identity and gain respect as a part of humanity. The Pick-Comb, is symbolic for beauty or beautification. Butterfly, represents birth or life. Peace Sign, a very recognizable symbol for Peace. Or, is it? As I wrote a blog about it's supposed origin which can be found on my blog page titled, The Symbolic Peace Sign. Good or Evil. The Peace Sign in the Mural had alread been placed in the work before I had learned to question symbolic meaning. The question still remains is the Sign good or evil? However, my intentions of use had nothing to do with representing evil of any kind. Other symbols are included that are Proverbs borrowed from the West Africa Adrinka Tribe. At some point within completing the Mural the application of colors will have just as much meaning as the figures and images themselves.
My artwork contains the ideology of Abstract Expressionism. Today, I integrate and incorporate my traditional knowledge of painting and drawing with Modern tools, such as, Computer and Digital Software. This is why I refer to my Artwork as, "Where Traditon meets Modern Technology." Because, my Original Art Prints are produced from the creations of my paintings/drawings and photographs. The original work is downloaded and then explored and experimented with Creative Software. It's amazing how many works can be created using a vareity of Today's Visual arts applications! Since I'm open to trying out a variety of today's mediums I find the love for the Art that I do continously. In other words, the work never becomes boring.
The Mural above will eventually be explored in the same way with the integration and incorporation of Creative Software using the original painting/drawing as the foundation of the creation for a New Original Art Print.
Original Art Prints are becoming recognized as a buyable source due to its pricing usually. However, the difference between the Original Art Prints I create and those normally sold within the Commercial arena is that Original Art Prints sold by Commercial Visual Arts vendors is the prints are usually sold in bulks of the same rendition. This means that hundreds and hundreds of the prints are sold, and this type of sells don't necessarily increase the value of the print unless the print itself contains Authentic Signature. And, or perhaps the print is by a past reknown Artist. Even then a few other things are considered befor a bulk print takes on any value as it relates to montary returns.
Whereas, my Original Art Prints are automatically limited to the amount of prints that will be sold. For instance, only 10 to 25 images per art print are sold. Once an image for the Original Art Print Collection are sold the Image is removed from all available sites, inclusive of FSK and archived for ever. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticty containing a special serial number to make the original art print more exclusive over time. FSK is always looking for ways to improve its services from every aspect as it relates to our business for its Patrons and potential prospects.

I look forward to sharing more creation and exploration about the growth of the Mural, along with other artworks.
