Description:

The title "Poor but Creative" is perfectly embodied by the visual conversation on the canvas. The creative vitality is represented by the relentless, brilliant, and passionate neon colors that fight to shine through. The "poor" aspect is represented by the heavy, chaotic, and smothering presence of the black, which attempts to subdue or simplify the work. The artist creates something rich, complex, and memorable using fundamental marks and materials, suggesting that creativity is a forceful necessity that erupts despite—or perhaps because of—limitations.

This painting is a visual field of conflict and high energy, utilizing a chaotic structure of heavy marks to convey a sense of struggle and vitality.
