A funeral for Painting...

July 12, 2020

Painting the human subject.


The human subject as still life; as vessels for human hope, longing, failure and endurance.
The human subject as landscape; a terrain along which the eye travels and the heart and mind seek out encounters both strange and beautiful.


As history painting of the personal kind; creating a surface along which time is etched and a part of the artist's experience engages the beholder to form part of lived experience.

Let them announce the death of painting. The coffin will be empty.
