Biography

AXB is a painter from the USA.

Statement

In my exploration of art history through a contemporary lens, I find myself drawn to the unique allure of black and white. Through this series of paintings, I reimagine iconic masterpieces from across the ages, stripping away the distractions of color to reveal the essence of their forms and emotions.

By translating these revered works into a monochromatic palette, I invite viewers to see familiar compositions with fresh eyes. This deliberate reduction seeks to highlight the inherent power of line, shape, and contrast, emphasizing fundamental elements that transcend temporal and cultural boundaries while bypassing the emotional influence of color.

Through this process of reinterpretation, I aim to provoke contemplation on the universality of individual expression and the enduring relevance of these timeless treasures. This work is intended to serve as a bridge between past and present, offering a new perspective on the enduring legacy of artistic innovation. 🎨
