Mixed Media Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, Expressionism, “Breaking Free” by Contemporary Artist Tracy Lupanow

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others" Nelson Mandela

Creating this mixed media abstract painting was a difficult task for me. I started it in the dead of winter and I have SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which makes me feel trapped physically and emotionally. I become very depressed when the the skies are dark and grey. As I continued painting it started to become a cathartic experience for me. I felt an emotional freedom taking over as the heaviness of the winter lifted.

- Henry Miller

Mixed Media Cityscape, Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, Expressionism, “5 Alarm” by Contemporary Artist Tracy Lupanow

"I personally will never forget that people are more important than buildings." 
- Harvey Milk

The graffiti in this painting resides on the building across the alley from where I live. I became curious seeing it daily. What does it mean? Who painted it? Why did the artist decide to climb down the fire escape from the roof to paint it? I took a photo of it as I usually do with things that interest me. I knew it would become part of a future painting.

Then an incredible thing happened! While my painting was on display at an art festival, I noticed two young men spending a lot of time studying it. Of course, I needed to find out what it was that caught their attention. As I approached, one of them turned to me and asked, "Do you know what this is?" I replied, "It's graffiti on the building across from my condo." He said, "No, it is much more than that. It was painted by a graffiti artist as a memorial for another graffiti artist who passed away in a motorcycle accident."

Wow, all the questions I had about the graffiti were answered!! Now when I look out my window and see that beautiful writing, I can feel the admiration and love from one artist to another.

Painted with acrylic, oil pastel, ink pencil and copies of my b&w photos. Mounted and framed in a beautiful black floater frame.

 I often like to start a painting with spontaneous writing. It helps to clear my mind and channel my intuition. I really love how the writing peeks out from under the many layers of blue, green and turquoise paint, in this vibrant and glowing abstract painting!

Painted with acrylic and charcoal pencil. Mounted to a black cradle board.
