Emoji Alphabet

This painting provides a fun and thought-provoking way to teach first words or the foundations of spelling to curious kids. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by an object from the emoji set. Incorporated into the composition are question marks and exclamation points, nods to the punctuation in the last lines of the traditional ABC song. At the same time, the juxtaposition of the quiet, monochrome drip background and the bolder, crisper emoji icons creates a dynamic visual effect that explores the possibilities of painting in a world saturated with technological symbols.
