my new series explores the concept of fragility, destruction and resilience...
i paint mainly oil on canvas blending real, impression and expression 'isms' endowing ethereal beauty upon a somber subject: the sanctioned feeding of the industrial complex...
layering conceptual subtexts and incorporating found objects extends the visual plane into our reality... and our role... and creates a dance between the two in what feels like powder keg immediacy...
the viewer is given a vision both prophetic and real coupled with inability of action creating a visceral melancholic experience...
