A Function (2023) Original Acrylic Painting by JONATHAN LINDSAY

I was a student for exactly one year at an art school in Colorado before I set out to pursue my career as an artist in New York. It was an amazing experience and I had some fantastic professors. I had finished a painting on social issues and I had included some words in my painting. When I was up for review, the main critique of my painting was that the text I used in the painting did not "serve a function". While I ultimately ended up agreeing with my professors, it was something that has always stuck with me. Text does not serve a function, but I think it can in the right context. The painting is called MUTED and you can actually find it among my collection, sans text.
