About the Art
Kent Youngstrom's Forward Backward is packed with translucent and saturated reds, oranges, and pinks that create a well-balanced composition. The lettering and positive message of the piece fill up the space of the canvas and the hearts of the viewers. This art piece is also accompanied by a poem:
forward. backward. reverse.
there is probably a reason
the queen can move around
more swiftly, further, and in more directions
than any of the other pieces.
more than the pawn
more than the bishop
more than the knight or the castle.
way more than the king.

i’m kenT and i’m an artist. sometimes even the tortured kind. i’m on a mission to make the walls of your home, office, or secret lair as colorful and as beautiful as you are.
i am movement, a flurry of pattern and frenzy, flirting with paintbrushes and putty knives, markers, and mistakes. i am attracted to the pitch and yaw of opposites, their nuances, and perplexing subtleties.
i paint simplicity with shades of complexity—pockets of light that marry contours of shadow, and they coexist and adapt together as complements of each other.
i am electric, a live wire. lowercase but with capital impact.
and while the air is still static with electricity, i sit in stillness and study what will be yours. will it make you feel?
i paint so you will feel connection. desire. intimacy. depth.
