2004-2010:Oil Paintings | 59 Images
The foundation for my art came from a largely unsupervised childhood in which I distanced myself from actuality by envisioning my own small world as a theater and casting myself as both playwright and lead actor in countless fictions. In these paintings I used-resin, pigment, oil paint, string, ink, paper, and clay--in order to manifest forms at once familiar and unrecognizable, visual fictions, compositions on the stage of my canvases, full of life and movement. When a viewer encounters my figures, or "guys," as I call them, the initial impulse is to decode or interpret, which is my knock at the door, my invitation to come out and play.
