“The Trio, “Red, Blue with Green”, “The Promise”, and “I Like Red Over Pink” present a theme of vision. Bringing the audience into a different approach to seeing is believing. This collection tells the story of an alternate vantage point, directing viewers to look beyond the crimson, dark, painful place we often survive, fighting through to more colorful, meaningful days. Inspiration found in one’s perception can change everything.
Gillespie guides us through the pain in his translation of healing. Subconsciously promoting the “only way out is through” mentality. The Artist’s depiction is honest and visceral, exposing vulnerability as a superpower.”
