Oil and acrylic on 12 X 12 Inch canvas 2019
We live in a world with digital dementia, a sensory mismatch in the brain from the overutilization of technology. It is registered as a glitch that instantly provides a sense of conflict to human nature. However, we learn to embrace mistakes by being somewhat susceptible to the nature of conflict than fixating yourselves on indoctrination. Thus we learn to harmonize in these two contrasting aspects of reality.

We, as humans, live with a conceptual division of two opposite or contrasting aspects. The ambidextrous nature of the artist reflects the ever-opposing idea that makes humans susceptible to conflict.
These three portraits vividly represent three particular emotions drastically experienced by the artist. They are symbols of 'Contemplation,' 'Desire,' and 'Ecstasy.' The artist considers the act of painting as a ritual, attempting to visualize the struggle in harmony. The practice is conflicting in ambidexterity yet ironically harmonious when 'left' and 'right' are composed. It seeks a sense of balance in every aspect of human life where conflicts constantly occur.
This triptych is created with acrylic and spray paint on textured canvases oppositely saturated magenta and turquoise. The artist works ambidextrously to fully acknowledge the philosophical perception of balance, which juxtaposes into dualism. This neuro-psychological exercise brings transcendence to the artist's ritual.

This piece is a visual representation of the painter's ambidexterity and a reflection of dualism. Having to paint ambidextrously requires a sense of compromising as his two distinctively different characteristics on left and right have led him to build his own identity.

A sculpture of a female torso represents variously repressed emotions. As it looks aesthetically pleasing, the painting captivates the artist's emotions as visceral as it can.

The artist tries to experiment with three distinctively different approaches to his subject matter. The one compromises the second conflict and the third, between the previous two. Each piece represents his genuine emotions and very personal and human psychoanalytic transformation.
The first is a sign of compromising. The feeling of acceptance causes a sense of longing but the emotion can not possibly alter the reality.

The second works as a conflict. The feeling extracted is strikingly visceral yet saturating with prime colours.

Created in collaboration by Larissa Maxwell and Jace Kim as part of the East Meets West Show November 18-20th, 2016. Larissa and Jace painted on all three pieces in their signature abstract and figurative styles using a variety of acrylic and oil mediums. These pieces evolved over a 6 part process of painting on each other's work to create a cohesive triptych embodying the theme of the show and the personal journeys of both artists, and the ways they intersect and find commonality.
Larissa and Jace utilized their respective abstract and figurative styles and various acrylic mediums and techniques to tell the story of collaboration. 'Consanguine' speaks to two languages working together in relational harmony towards a common theme of living in two realities. This piece is about the challenge and beauty of two artists, speaking two different artistic languages, finding common ground and a place of harmony based on shared experience.

'Fallen' represents abandoned emotions extracted from the stream of subconsciousness. The face is a personified version of various emotions coming from one's inner self.
'Andy with Magnolias' is a live-painted piece at the show. Two hours of non-stop painting in front of the audience manifest the emotions created from the show's overall vibe.

When your facial expression is limited, you become obsessed with other sensory cognitions. It stimulates unconventional emotions and personifies an anonymous face.
The sense of 'repression' from creative anxiety expresses certain emotions from subconsciousness through a ritual of painting that constantly extracts those emotions by random abstract marks. They become more conscious as the artist pursues the details in the facial structure, especially the lips. The contrast between the abstract eyes and figurative lips is a sign of compromising with the repression in reality.

9 different experimentations of struggling through my sub-consciousness
"I am imprisoned in a reality that is extracted from an abstract chaos."
"Please accept my apologies for escaping the reality literally 9 times"
'Apologies' is a series of work based on the artists emotional interaction with canvas. This is the early stage of the process where the artist was mostly experimenting with the medium.
My thought process begins with instinctively expressing my raw emotions. A portrait extracted from an abstract chaos represents the struggle between my subconscious and ego. Painting from a possible urge to express my emotions merely by instinct is considered as torturing a canvas. The act of painting becomes apologetic gestures as I refuse to fight for my sub-consciousness.
"Please accept my apologies."
