Everyone can identify with times when an endeavor ends up in a "muddle". At those times it is quite invigorating to simply go back to the basics. It's quite like the golf pro who changed coaches to improve his golf swing. For this particular player, it meant two years of not winning and "slogging" through ingrained habits. It paid off when he ended up at the top of his game.
This was one of those cropped pieces of paste paper that had some compelling texture, but seemed hopeless. It's quite abstract with lots of drama so I'm quite sure it will not appeal to everyone. I focused on division of space with some bold, flat color, allowing the red to remain dominant. It was a gamble, but I think we all need to take risks so that our artwork doesn't become too predictable. This one will definitely wake you up in the morning! The very "sketchy" italic was almost an afterthought. I like it simply because it has compelling interest and it is definitely not predictable. But as always, the viewer always gets to decide.
