Edition Size: 25
11 x 17 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 300gsm Water Color Cotton Paper
"This piece was for a series of ‘Flags’ I painted for my last solo in January of 2013 with White Walls Gallery in San Francisco entitled ‘THE NEW RACE’. The symbols & various hand prints throughout the series are meant to be indicative of a future language fitting of the narrative of the world expressed through my art. The idea for this specific piece came from a series of flags I had created 18 months prior. I’ve always liked the idea of flags and banners -- much like that of symbols -- and I wanted to create some flags unique to me that do not necessarily have any roots in nations or movements. Instead I wanted to focus on fictional origins representative of literal influences, however not have the work traced to any specific one." - David Young V
