The work reflects a moment of self-awareness, where desire continues to exist even after we understand that fulfillment and necessity are not always aligned. Created using black and white acrylic paint, the piece focuses on contrast, reduction, and emotional clarity. By limiting the palette to only black and white, the work strips away distraction and emphasizes form, movement, and expression. The process involves building the image through bold, expressive strokes and layered paint, allowing the composition to emerge through contrast and texture. The simplicity of the color palette mirrors the core idea behind the work: the push and pull between opposing forces—desire and acceptance, longing and understanding. Through this minimal yet expressive approach, the piece invites viewers to reflect on the universal experience of wanting something deeply while recognizing that it may not ultimately be what we need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684cb993170c086396f36c4d/77a3c1ec-902a-4d9f-aadd-4a954d5ac81d/IMG_5355.jpeg Previous Winners - KENZIE COLVIN — SUMMER 2026 WINNER - Make it stand out Hung Up On You Acrylic, 30 × 40 in Hung Up On You captures the emotional tension of waiting—being present and available for someone at a moment’s notice. The figure holds the phone close, suspended in a quiet moment of anticipation, embodying the vulnerability of waiting for a voice on the other end of the line. The piece reflects the feeling of being emotionally on hold, where time slows and attention is fixed on the possibility of connection. Created using black and white acrylic paint, the limited palette emphasizes contrast and mood. By removing color, the work focuses on form, gesture, and expression, allowing the tension of the moment to emerge through light, shadow, and movement. My process is intuitive and expressive, building the image through layered brushstrokes and bold contrasts. The monochromatic palette mirrors the emotional push and pull present in the work—between presence and absence, connection and distance. Hung Up On You reflects the fragile space between reaching out and waiting to be reached. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684cb993170c086396f36c4d/c372bdfd-3da8-4b7e-aa69-8a5867ffc2f6/Screenshot+2026-09-08+125306.png Previous Winners - KENZIE COLVIN — SUMMER 2026 WINNER - Make it stand out Peculiar Childhood Acrylic, 20 × 20 in Peculiar Childhood reflects a memory that on the surface feels light and happy, but reveals a deeper sense of discomfort and pain upon closer attention. The work explores the complexity of childhood experiences, where moments can hold both joy and quiet struggle at the same time. Subtle details, such as the hospital bracelet, hint at a deeper narrative that might otherwise be overlooked, mirroring how much of that experience went unseen. Created using black and white acrylic paint, the absence of color is a deliberate contrast to the way memories are often perceived as bright and vivid. By removing color, the work strips the moment down to its emotional core, allowing the underlying tension to come forward. https://www.artfundme.com/previous-winners/tag/Art+Fund+Me+Winner monthly 0.5 https://www.artfundme.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-11 https://www.artfundme.com/honorable-mentions daily 0.75 2026-07-08
