The MAD WORLD series emerged during a pivotal moment of artistic exploration, as I grappled with defining my voice amidst the transition from commercial art to the gallery scene in New York City. Fueled by a fascination with the interplay between digital and real-world perceptions, I delved into the concept of translating digital environments into handmade art. Inspired by the dynamic transformations observed in Google Earth, I embarked on a relentless creative journey, channeling my emotions and energy into intricate drawings that aimed to counterbalance the chaos of contemporary life with beauty and introspection. Now, as I return to painting, I seek to refine the fusion of digital concepts into tangible artworks. This catalog serves as a snapshot of the MAD WORLD series, inviting exploration and reflection into its complexities. Much like my initial exploration of Google Earth, I hope this journey sparks inspiration and connection for others. Commissions available upon request. Email: info@kennethburrisstudio.com
