I've been doing some deep-rooted research into the world of underground art and music and came across this article about a Detroit artist that I feel shares some similarities in how I thrust emotion/experience into my art.
"It’s been said that Patrick Martinez’s work sheds light on “the phenomenology of his surroundings.” As evidenced by his answers to my questions below, Patrick’s personal philosophy clearly embodies the very meaning of phenomenology—as his keen self-awareness and interest in the development of human consciousness reveals itself in his work. Beyond being a good guy, Patrick Martinez is a great artist pleased to share his talent in the name of rebuilding Detroit."

The image above was painted by Martinez as a portrait of Nas. "The concept of the piece," Martinez tells, "was the success of rap music was suffocating the art form." He painted the portrait of the Queens poet breaking out of a noose made from a fat platinum rope chain, which is around his neck.
Juxtapoz Magazine is a great publication for those seeking raw underground talent. Check it out when you get the chance!
