Today Will Be A Good Day Painting

American artist Lamar Jones, uses themes of love, light and darkness in his work, blending pop-realism with expressionism. His concepts touch the fragility of life and the beauty of nature against the soulless uniformity of the urban world. Inspiring through art activism, his most recent work gives an abstract interpretation on politics and social injustice. I like to manipulate the familiarity of iconic characters, to give my art a nostalgic feeling. At the same time, twist the suggestive narrative to a visceral topic, to create a mature conversational piece. My work is influenced by everyday life. Sometimes I find inspiration through my muse. I often find inspiration through nature and my personal opinions that I feel are relatable. For me, art is about the vibe. My goal for every piece is to provoke thought. I create to speak a visual language of love and silent protest.
