Amadi Rubie/ KYM
Based in New York.
My ensemble of works aim to draw
attention to viewers of all kinds. To pull them close by the chin and
encourage them to observe and engage further into the work of a leaden
mind. Through these works I experiment with different mediums that will
satisfy my ideas in linguistic and visual forms of the deep rotted roots
within myself. This is all in an attempt to unbind and indulge in its
severity.
I explore the rot through many channels. Charcoal,
digital design, Illustrations, digital mixed media and short film as my
primary mediums. With found objects and textures, I take advantage of
their texture, shapes and forms exploiting them for all their worth
creating something somber and enigmatic.
These forms and textures
inspire and call back to feelings throughout my timeline to begin
design and illustration. From interactions and overwhelming feelings
that contain themselves within me as rot. Allowing me to put on a
solitary performance in an auditorium full of house plants seamlessly
creating somber works.
My distinctive artwork from Illustration,
Garments, to Charcoal can swell and birth to familiar and estranged deep
blue within the viewer's chest. Speaking to the unspoken and the
unchangeable woes we all keep within ourselves and to construct internal
narratives.
Art is what forms artists, art engages minds, minds inspire creation.
