Drawing - Wax On Paper

Description

Untitled (2018)
11 in. x 14 in. (27.94 x 35.56 cm)
Wax on paper
Donald "C-Note" Hooker

Colors: red, orange, yellow, brown
Shapes: rectangles, square, triangle, circle
Textures: smooth
Inspiration behind the work: an ad image
Technique: dry medium (wax)
Cultural reference: African American R&B star
Comparisons: muse unknown
Artist intent: to amplify beauty

The color scheme was dictated by the color scheme in an already existing image. The existing image was from a magazine subscription postcard that had an image of a female R&B star that had previously been on its cover. Many of C-Note's works in color are predominantly wax on a paper surface, from artist's paper, typing paper, to cardboard. This Untitled work was created on archival art paper.

Like many of C-Note's works that have a magazine model as its muse, the artist remains silent for fear of not meeting the expectations of the original. His sole inspiration was the image of the R&B African American female pop star, who brought a particular beauty and sophistication to the magazine postcard subscription, and that the world should feel as he felt, it means something.
