Alex Merchant - A case against waste (Collage, acrylic on canvas, 36" x 36", 2019)
Lines continuously drawn between art and life, skin and skin, ability and belief in one's ability. How maleness is measured is often how men size-up one another, physically, mentally, financially, but rarely emotionally. Sports acts as a vehicle for male commuication, vulnerability of emotional expression, cooperation and character. I visit metropolitain basketball courts and rural stock car speedways to see two divergent packs in their respective environments, for comparison and contrast.
