So, the year begins with an absolute idiot as a head of state. I cannot express how repulsive a human being this piece of shit is. It is sad that almost half of the US is so stupid that they voted for him. So things are not likely to get better soon and so the escape is art. To try to create beauty in a country that has embraced ugliness, stupidity, greed and racist nationalism all in the name of patriotism. So, I will be be busy.
The above work is Edinburgh, Scotland
The above piece is a piece called Ad Infinitum. It was in the Tikkanen Competition. Inspired a bit by Jasper Johns and DeMuth.
This is an early study of a couple of models who were remarkable for a variety of reasons, the biggest being the contrast in skin tones which made for a significant challenge photographing them as well as painting them.
Still playing around with the "Movement" series of paintings.
