These last three are what usually happens about once every 10 paintings. Pretty amazing
I've been v e r y nervous about these. Do you ever do a painting that you can quite seem to accept as your own and yet it's almost a compulsion to do them?
Yes. I call it manna, and dance a little jig. This used to happen very often when I worked in a fast and fluid way. I lived for it, and valued those works highly.
On second thought, I just described something different from what you were saying.
I'm feeling compulsive about the high relief work, even though when I come back to them with any sort of critical eye, they scare me. It will be very hard to present them, because it will be very easy to read them as bad careless craft art.
hah. yes. manna + a jig. will do.
I *should* look at it that way, but the feeling is more like "when I come back to them with any sort of critical eye, they scare me."
I can't wait to see some postings of the relief works in full. Just my two cents here, but I'm thinking your current palette makes it a tad less easy to read as bad or careless craft art. Deranged maybe. I really love them.
"Deranged maybe". haha, confidence restored. Color is driving these more than anything. Color and texture, and when I'm making them, it's a very visceral experience, more so than I've had for a long time.
MAH, these last paintings are there. They grab on. IMO they could only be done by a critically aware, competent, accomplished artist yet they dare to go beyond that or along side of that, not sure how to put it.
Yes, love these.
Love the perspective on this one. The vantage point/s, emptiness just about sum up my own experience of 2011.
Thanks Chris. A couple of people have referenced perspective in the latest batch. My overarching title for these works is "Relationships and Other Problems of Perspective." That might be the show title, still thinking on it.
