Description
As is probably evidenced from past works, I enjoy playing with repeating --but sometimes asymmetrical-- motifs. Such is the case here.acrylic paint, acrylic ink, screenprinting ink and ceylon tea on rice paper and bristol + digital
Titled after a track on the debut solo album of Dierdre Dubois

Holy crud, this is incredible.
This touches something powerful in me. I don't even know what it it, but I feel moved, like when I saw a Rothko and really saw it.
Thank you very much.

I thinks thats on the same stuff I did these on. Which interestingly enough I also bought to use screen printing ink on, for a screen printed comicbook cover. I even had used a similar redish orange color that you used here, I'll see if I can find some of my extra copies of that comic and scan em in.

I have a story ))
That painting remembers me of that story!..
Alessandro Barrico have a novel named "Oceano mare". One of the char-s of the novel is an artist who wanted to draw the ocean. & he draw it using the ocean water as a tutorial.
He left over 46 practically white paintings in the end...
Thk for great allusion....

I agree about what you say about repeating a motif. The total is greater than the sum of its parts.
Great work

this might sound dumb,
but what's acrylic ink?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is a usually permanent, color/lightfast ink that uses acrylic pigments.
I use a couple of different kinds:

I am favving this because I have been coming to it on and off since you posted it, and want my front page to have something on it that will never stop looking good.

The red is almost too powerful for me in this one. Perhaps it's my monitor, not sure. I imagine something violent when I look at it. Blood red, I suppose.

I see a male torso. Then their's the intense red, and repetition of the image, and it slows down towards the bottom, it reminds me of sex.

It reminds me of so many things (that you probably didn't intend)! Roof tiles, rusted metal sheeting, a sunset...
Very evocative.

My intentions have no bearing to what many observers seem to get out of my images, but that is fine, since my intentions are purely self-absorbed. The fact that others get something out of them at all I consider a pleasant by-product of my self-interests.

Big loud colors make the mean old admin (that would be me) quite content.

An ever-present sense of powerful determination seems to underscore much of your work. It often feels as if you've hammered an image out of the air through sheer will. Stunning.

The honest truth is that is not entirely far off. The world provides a perpetual immersion of stimulus, and if you attune yourself to bypassing the numbing aspetc sof modern existence, one can find deeply interesting inspiration from even the most mundane. It is not necessarily an intellectual event, or something that denotes some ur-mind at work. It is just tuning your head into the odd beauty of teacups, coffee stains on your morning paper, cracks in the pavement, and the response you feel when she smiles at you.
The transformation from fleeting observations to coherent premise can be at times be a long sequence of fits and starts, but I suppose at times I have been lucky that I am so infatuated with so many possible avenues, that if one is not proving itself to be usable, I can quickly hammer at any number of other selections to find catharsis. It is often a rather inchoate game of free-associative visual riffing on my part, which may explain why some have seen much of my abstract work as rife with meanings that I simply never anticipated. I merely made some kind of intutive bridge between a fragment of time and a piece of paper.

These are excellent observations. Art that emerges from the froth of daily life, I see what makes the work so powerful now; the truth of it.

I know this probably isn't what you meant to make it look like, but it looks like a conveyor belt (like the ones at airports) with blood all over it. At least, thats what it looks like to me.
