Artist Statement

Love Drub’s “Love Like Angels, Think Like Devils” embodies the perspective and connection one of the most important values needed in today’s climate, especially with the global pandemic. The artwork is a 34 inch by 34 inch, flip-effect, lenticular print that comes alive under Red, Green, and Blue light, reflecting perspective and connection through the view of a romantic relationship. Draft after draft, the idea of opposites being both good and bad stuck. In the piece is an angel and a devil. The inside and outside. Girl cherub and boy cherub. Flowers and thorns. Each is shown separately but brought together through a particular lens. The piece brings value through its purpose, to love each other through our painful differences. Love Drub.
