About the artwork:
This dynamic painting features two diagonal palm trees and a fluttering flag, set between the cool green light of a lamppost and a red-tinted cloud at sunset. For this body of work, the artist draws inspiration from photographs taken at a street parade in Corpus Christi, Texas. Fascinated by the energy generated by planned gatherings, she explores their elevated frequency through her vibrant and crowded paintings.
Interested in the human psyche, community, faith, and spirituality, Marika Thunder incorporates her lived experiences into her practice. The artist spent her formative years living in several states, including Texas, California, and Pennsylvania, and she uses these disparate environments to reflect on our shared collective drive for fulfillment.
About the artist:
Artist Marika Thunder was born and raised in New York City. Her series’ range from collages of pop culture, religious and ceremonial traditions, to exercise equipment and other heavy machinery she comes across during excursions to junkyards. However, they all share a common theme of depicting her chosen subjects in states of fragmentation, repair, and/or transformation. Her subversive and vibrant configurations are attempts to tap into the collective consciousness of individuals impacted by institutions and the surreal and formative memories we all share.
