Text Paintings

Taking as a departure point the amusing, anonymously-authored nomenclature of house paint decks, “Classic Colors” picks fragments from the swirl of information and “content” in which we’re all swimming and set them into quasi-classification systems. The painting “Lifestyle Choices” goes further: concepts that seem to have no visual correlation or representation in color (e.g. universal basic income) become shaded and hued. A grid of one color is given umpteen different names: it’s not that none are factual, it’s that all are true. These paintings represent the confluence of a wide range of themes and formal elements in my previous work.
