These things will fuck with your eyes is a body of work that reflects and represents this poppy, high energy, bright colored aspect of pop art. 

The pieces in this exhibit are meant to play on the very surface level content that pop art usually offers. The color palette of this work is meant to be eye candy for the viewer, but each piece has an undertone of a more complex and cautious-like message.

The context of each piece is meant to make you reflect on what you’re reading not just seeing.

The topics range from things I saw and experienced in my everyday life to my personal opinions of how I have felt as I’ve navigated my way through this life as an artist in the ArtWorld, in politics, in my life  in general and upbringing. 

Some of the everyday issues that I saw and experienced felt as though no one around me was addressing or even wanting to talk about. It felt as though people feared they would be criticized by their peers or they would lose followers or lose some sort of respect from other socialites in the social scene. It was as though it would jeopardize their social status within that scene. But for me it was important to just touch base on these topics and put it in your face. 

I want to make people feel uncomfortable about some of the topics I painted and wrote about. I too, wanted to feel uncomfortable because I  knew that I would probably receive some criticism for some of the opinions that I shared. None the less I felt that these things are important to share with the public, so I did.
