Here's What I've Wanted to Say to You

2020

In this series, “HERE'S WHAT I'VE WANTED TO SAY TO YOU” (2020), Von Deon uses Abstract Expressionism and text to explain his emotional state in the height of social injustice in America, finding true love in a romantic relationship, and the pursuit of spiritual growth.

The paintings in this series use symbols and literal phrases to clearly express the artist's thoughts about love, growth, and politics.
