JEFFREY MORABITO
I’m aiming for the image that is awkward, uncomfortable, or feels off, to profit from its ability to puncture one’s psyche. The juxtapositions in imagery in fashion, advertisements, info-graphics in signs, windows, and reflections in glass interest me greatly.
I hope that if someone is able to take a step into the stage that is my painting, the narrative that was previously being formed from the recognizable elements will be slowly but surely, undone. The backdrop becomes the actor, while the actor becomes the backdrop.
