Acrylic painting. Being very sick for all of February, I now wonder if I was fighting COVID-19.

SDED-I Never, 2022
Acrylic on shaped canvas and plywood letters over plywood box
60 x 48 x 1.5 in (153 x 122 x 4 cm)
Right off the bat I have to confess that the piece was supposed to look exactly like the message says: sloppy, unfinished, unimaginative, and a failure. For once in my artistic life I wanted to create a painting of frustration I deeply felt a few years back when I started this painting but (again!) I missed to produce the sloppy-unfinished-unimaginative-failure of an artwork I was aiming for! Therefore, the entire exercise of showing bitterness and irritation failed as well! I understand that perhaps the logic here is lacking clarity but I assure you that, if the piece finds a positive audience, it's only because I failed to make the bad piece I was looking to make in the first place!
The painting is yet another homage to the great American artist, Mel Bochner, who I tried to emulate by putting on view a message that I found to encapsulate my true feeling about everything I did in my life: displaying a "big nothing" skill!
Two elements are making this piece quasi-distinctive. One is an outline of my own profile, to double down on the personal nature of the piece (along with the canvas traveling up above the plain to end in a rolled canvas as if peeled from the entire surface). And the second element is all the “I” letters were covered in mirror suggesting, perhaps, that the message could easily belong to anyone looking at it. In a true SDED (2-D, 3-D) fashion letters go above and below the painting flat surface.
A special shout out to Atelier Cue who suggested that I continue painting, regardless of the original unfinished look intent.
