Dancing Dan Painting series

I felt it was time to do this series; a series that reflects the white (over weight and aging) male as image/symbol of unsustainable positioning in this pluralistic setting. As male in the world or art world, we have a tendency to maintain our own position of power or that persona of power or youth, where in reality it's lost to time and gravity. The piece speaks to that false facade. That's why I use the idea of "the artist as fool" in most of my work. Basically I poke fun at my own self. As a white male, in this state of culture, I think that's all I have to work with, that and humility.
