11. Fauvism
My latest series “Inspirations” is a take on fine art movements that have influenced me as an artist. I created six beautiful works of art, and when I finished, I ripped them apart. When peeled back you find another painting in my juxtaposed cartoon style. I know, it sounds crazy… and for the most part, is was. The finished paintings are truly unique.

Fauvism was a joyful style of painting that delighted in using outrageously bold colors. It was developed in France at the beginning of the 20th century by Henri Matisse and André Derain. The artists who painted in this style were known as 'Les Fauves' (the wild beasts), a title that came from a sarcastic remark in a review by the art critic Louis Vauxcelles. 'Les Fauves' believed that color should be used at its highest pitch to express the artist's feelings about a subject, rather than simply to describe what it looks like. Fauvist paintings have two main characteristics: extremely simplified drawing and intensely exaggerated color. Fauvism was a major influence on German Expressionism.
