Underground...
“Underground” is part of the Journal, Graffiti Art, and Abstract Collection..it’s a bit more somber than the others to reflect all the layers of meaning that resonate from the word “Underground” and more indicative of the lives of those who use this platform to express themselves and their art.
Watercolour, Calligraphy, Dry wall Plaster, on Indian Paper….
nobody listens
to
us
so we scrawl
our troubled
souls
on your barren
walls
and hope that
someday
you all will
understand.....Junior Burchall

There’s a war raging within me
the likes of a subway battle I could not win
there is a dark tunnel within me
with tracks snaking endlessly into the dark
there before god I walk into to destiny
some day here they’ll find the rest of me
if only time was taken not taken away
they would understand the reasons I spray....mare 139

And I feel like I’ve been here before
Feel like I’ve been here before
And you know it does make me wonder
What’s going on under the ground
Do you know?
Don’t you wonder?
What’s going on
Down under you

I truly love the way you marry the visual and written. Wonderful.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you Jim…this particular collection has something to say, so the images and narrative are symbiotic…
Paul Stephen ...
Nice work ,great words Paul :))))
Janis Zroback replied
A wet underground wall is not the style you’re used to seeing from me…it is part of this collection which is words and images and a message from both….

Janis Zroback replied
You’ve seen wet underground walls many times…I could have made this one gloomy and dripping, but chose to just do a symbol, with the words and music telling the story…thanks T.

Thanks T…it seems they will allow a Youtube link, but not anything else…I was trying to link the Sundance Fest, with all the photos…oh well..
Janis Zroback replied
It looks great…I will go rent the DVD…the tickets for their recent concerts here have been astronomical in price….but we were able to see them live a few years ago…

Keithbotilier
Great setting wonderful verse.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Keith….
LindaMcCarthy
A fitting visual to accompany the intense feelings expressed in the verse/lyrics; desperation and hopelessness- a longing to be heard with nobody to listen. Compelling! Love the play of colors and textures.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you Linda for your very insightful comment….I’m so pleased you like this painting…
David Roman
