ABOUT
THE ARTIST
The
painter should never describe his paintings- ever for any reason.
But off the record I often say "industrial figurative."
The
highly layered surface comprises not only computer manipulated typography
and atmospheric graphs of the surface of Mars, but also rough fabric,
and found objects like broken cassette tape cartridges and spark
plug boxes. All are worked into the mix as compositional elements.
Depending on the light, and mood of the viewer, it is possible to
see something new with every viewing.
I
am told my technique of applying and manipulating paint is unorthodox.
The surface is pushed, pulled, scratched, scraped, and "attacked,"
before I then uses an industrial belt sander to grind away at the
results.
And I build my own frames out of recycled cedar and industrial material.
