| Artist Statement: | I believe that before anything else a painting has to first be a good painting and that is essentially all I’m trying to do. Easier said than done and easier to recognize than describe. Much of what I paint comes from a variety of sources. I cut images from magazines or newspapers. I scan the web and cull through my own photographs. Some of my paintings are based on a single image though more recently I’ve altering my source material by cutting and reassembling or creating collages with from parts of the images in combination with other elements. My recent work has been dealing with the duality of paint in a more direct manner. Working with what paint is physically and the illusions it can create by incorporating seemingly divergent styles in a single image. An image that is both representative and abstract; each part being equally important. |
