Tariq Jennings

PROJECT: SELF PORTRAIT

How will your own life become inspiration to you and your artwork? Consider your best and your worst memories: floating on the clouds, feeling down in the darkest of isolation. From the joy of puppies, to the pain of broken relationships; the comfort of family to the sting of death. Use your imagination to bring us to your habitat of memories, or show us who you are today as a result of them all.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“I am Tariq. I made this painting of people ignoring each other. In the painting, I am the one that is trying to talk to people and they are turned away.”
“Something I like about myself is I have money, and my favorite thing in the world is Popeye’s Chicken. When I grow up I want to be a businessman, and when I die I will be burned and give my kids my ashes.”

SKETCHBOOK:

Please view my sketchbook. This is where I captured my thoughts and expressed my rough concepts. I hope you enjoy having the opportunity to share all the various ideas and personal experiences which helped me to create my masterpiece. You will be happy you did it, for it’s a fascinating experience to look back on my monument of thoughts.
