“These two paintings are part of the Trouble Makers show I did in Portland in April 2018. This series have a firm emphasis on sculptural elements paired with much looser aspects to create a balance and juxtaposition between the two. By further fragmenting and cutting them for this Hand-Embellished edition I tried magnifying this contrast more. It’s a fun and playful process and Im quite happy how these collages turned out.” - Joram Roukes
