My Behind Collage

Glimpses of human body elements randomly show through in abbreviated snippets among the larger, more colorful passages of pigment (some themselves morphing into expressive human faces, parts of torsos or genitalia shorthand) in this roughly textured collage and oil paint landscape of the mind. The title, which on first reading summons the image of an artist's visual depiction of his anatomical rear end, is in actuality an allusion to my past, both in reference to my entire life, as well as to what went into the making of this specific piece of art. In seeing this painting coming together under my hand, I wanted to remind the viewer of the process, and consequently its importance, that went into the making of the piece. The racy implications of the the title's initial reading, though, visually supported by the quasi naughty imagery of some of the oil paint passages, suggests a hanging bon mot which is not without merit. Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
