The Conspiracy Print

I once saw an injured raven being attacked by other ravens in the street. They were loud and angry, vicious and unrelenting as they pecked at him. His wing was broken. I waved off the birds and tried to rescue the raven, but it soon died between falling somehow from the sky and being attacked by his own conspiracy. The image has always stayed with me, and at times in my life, I've felt like that injured raven, beaten while I'm down and left out in the cold in my hour of need. In many ways we're all that raven at one point or another. In October 2018, I created this piece for the Poe themed exhibit at Gallery Azul, San Pedro, CA. Having painted several studies of ravens, I wanted to depict the scene I had witnessed years before. It was important to me to give this piece the sense of movement and darkness that I remembered seeing at that time. I also needed to create that sense of abandonment for the injured subject. Working figuratively wasn't enough to convey that sense of urgency, chaos and movement, so I took a pallet knife to this piece and worked over it with more expressive marks. The piece sits ominously in my gallery/studio space and haunts visitors that come in to browse my work.
