As any Pop Art aficionado will know with my recent works since September 2023 I am drawing up my inner Basquiat inspiration.
These two blog articles wrote in July 2015 by me will show you my love for Jean-Michel’s works. You can always read these articles after this blog post. Articles shown in chronological order:

”convenient tasty snacks – Original in Yellow“ shown above formed from one word.. ‘convenient’.
Convenient like the Earth growing an adundance of tasty foods we love to combine in sophisticated culinary ways to produce incredible meals and drinks.
I wanted to celebrate this in an artwork, Basquiat style.
Prior to making the artwork <past the midnight hour> I happily enjoyed a documentary on the engineering feat of the ‘South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China’.
For instance, Beijing has a population of twenty one million people! Just think about how much food and water is needed. The Earth is truly amazing.
Good engineering works by humans is also amazing.
”convenient tasty snacks – Solarscape“ [digital Art, 27th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I did two further editions of my artwork, immediately above is ”convenient tasty snacks – Solarscape“. My solarscape versions always become vibrant, cool works on the digital canvas. To be honest I would love to see these in physical form, silkscreen prints would be wonderful.
Lastly I did a Monochrome version for a contrast between the colour editions, ”convenient tasty snacks – Monochrome“ is shown immediately below:

With ”convenient tasty snacks – Monochrome“ it was quite difficult to balance the tones, whilst retaining the verbal messaging.
Some of the messaging I wish to explain is the inclusion of Roman numerals. This is purely a Picasso influence-idea in the work! I feel subconsciously I included the popular laughter word ‘KEKW’ to highlight the playfulness of my imagery.
Subsidy street is a reference to engineering in terms of safety for cities and also a connection to the modern phenomena of world economies spiralling into further debt.
The light seemingly blazing through the canvas in Monochrome is a direct simile to my much earlier work in 2012, shown here in a blog article of 2019:
This is my past paint artwork in burnt umber on paper I am referring to:
‘Matt’ [Playful Light Signature, June 2012], Oil on paper.
I shone a light through the paper then took the photograph.
Hope you are enjoying my artworks and the layers of ideas.
