LA FIN - STUDY, NO. 2

Richard Saladino, La Fin - Study, No. 2, 2020. Mixed media and collage elements on paper, 7in x 5in.

Films, drama television series, and sitcoms have no doubt impacted our lives. At all ages, we escape into that world being projected on or through a screen. These visual experiences can give us new hope, optimism, and inspiration. La Fin is a project aimed to fully develop a visual language to express characters’ emotional responses, thoughts, roles, interactions, or a specific scene. I’m approaching this by creating visual riffs and building compositions that echo filmmaking techniques. The result is an extension--a life of its own in variation to the storylines, characters and scenes--which conveys a new visual experience.
