And Still I Fly Sq

Reproduction of And Still I Fly Sq by Kent Youngstrom

"And Still I Fly Sq" by Kent Youngstrom is an evocative mixed-media piece rich with symbolic depth and emotive resonance. This artwork masterfully blends abstract techniques with textual elements to evoke a powerful sense of perseverance and hope. Dominated by vibrant hues of magenta and pink, the background is textured with an impasto application that creates a dynamic, almost tactile surface. This outer layer seems fragmented, representing the trials and hardships that life encompasses. Through these cracks and fissures, one can discern layers of complexity and history, each adding to the narrative depth of the piece. Amongst this beautifully chaotic backdrop, bold letters spell out the phrase "AND STILL I FLY,” projecting a message of unwavering resilience. Superimposed over this, the artist has rendered the words "i love you" in a cursive, graffiti-like script, offering a softer sentiment that juxtaposes with the strong defiance of the larger text. An intricate, white line drawing of a blooming flower emerges on the right side of the canvas. This delicate representation symbolizes growth and beauty amidst adversity, furthering the theme of enduring love and continued hope. Classified within the realm of modern and contemporary art, Youngstrom’s piece is a striking example of how mixed media can be used to convey deep emotional and philosophical themes. Through its layered composition and harmonious blending of text and imagery, "And Still I Fly Sq" invites the viewer to ponder the resilience of the human spirit and the perpetual presence of love, even in the face of life's challenges.
