...The curious beauty of the blues is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad tale. You may be poor, you may have only a ramshackle house, you may have lost your job, but the song gives you hope....

Step into a world of urban complexity and fragmented views with Ramshackle Blues. This painting, reminiscent of Cubism, presents an abstract and stylized urban landscape that captures the dynamism of a crumbling city environment.

The composition breaks down the scenery into geometric shapes and forms, using a variety of colors to create a sense of depth and complexity. The intersecting shapes suggest buildings, windows, and elements of a “slumscape”, while the use of different tones and hues adds an illusion of three-dimensionality to the flat, two-dimensional surface.

The harmonized palette of blues, reds, browns, beiges, and greys evokes different materials and textures, immersing the viewer in a world of dilapidated buildings and the soulful essence of blues music. Through the fusion of urban landscapes and the emotive power of music, this artwork serves as a reflection of the resilience and strength found in overcoming poverty through the soulful expression of blues music.
