Artist Alvaro Barrington: Painting Slowed Me Down

* All That I Got Is You - Ghostface Killah
Pseudo personal
Mark Rothko
Alberto Giacometti
In the continuum
Fully birthed out of this violent act
Daughters to a foreigner’s imagination
Becoming a mother of things, not subservient to something else
Not burdened by history
Not a denial of state violence
Granada
The responsibility of the artist is to be honest about how they see and understand the world
You can’t get to the world we’re living in if you’re not honest
Art lets us rip ourselves away from the conditioning and get to how we really feel about what’s happening
