Velvet Rag

More about Velvet Rag

Velvet tones unfold,
horns hum in stitched harmony—
jazz sewn into soul.

A vibrant felt collage portrays a jazz musician mid-performance. Constructed with layered textures and bold hues, the image radiates rhythm and cultural resonance, capturing the spirit of improvisation through textile abstraction and geometric forms.

Artistic Statement: Blending textile art with cubist abstraction, "Velvet Rag" echoes Harlem Renaissance energy and jazz's visual rhythm. The felt medium grounds it in warmth and tactility while referencing African heritage and improvisational expression through form and pattern.

Influencing Artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Oxley

NB: my base image is an evolution in DDG of an image created in NC with the following prompt:
"(MOHAWK:2.0) (MASTERPIECE:1.0) (trombone:3.0), (Abstract musical:2.0), oil on canvas, triadic colors, gilded obsidian, minimalism, Robert Oxley, Jean-Michel Basquiat"
