source of sound

Acrylic & charcoal on paper

Inspired by a child’s drawing indicating the direction of the sound and perhaps the sound itself. For example the sound of aggression of someone shouting. The painting was created in landscape format, but when turned to portrait coincidentally the image resembles a screaming mouth. Powerful active lines and strokes of the paintbrush are easily deciphered as energy. In Eastern martial arts sound is also used as part of the force used to control the energy. The ringing of a bell with just the power of the sound emitted from a master without physically touching the bell.
