American Flag: Spots

20 in x 38 in,

6/25

I got the idea of painting the American Flag in different styles and textures. I custom-ordered canvases in the appropriate ratio of the US flag (10:19) and decided to replicate the flag in 5 variations. This one is done with abundant stamped spots in the red and white stripes. I kept the stars exactly the same (1.25 inch; titanium white with some impasto) between all the pieces to provide unity to the set. My goal is to respectfully represent the flag but with variations between them to make the point that although there are differences between individuals, America is unified by guiding principles of freedom, justice and equality.
