Artist I-P > Rawn McCloud (2)

In my work I provide an arrangement of color, form and texture to relay information relating to an eternal/internal dialogue of the soul. I relate it to the struggle not only against external forces outside of one's control, but also against oneself; one's greatest friend... or enemy. To this are added subtexts of jazz, blues and history. Themes related to boxing can be seen as a metaphor for the fight for recognition, for dignity, for strength in the face of adversity. My aim is to express an attitude of hope and optimism, not just for people of color, but for all people.
