About The Artwork
This was for my brother who took his life in 2017 I didn't know it would be about him until I began drawing the tree. His death involved a betrayal by his son. Something awful and life altering. Something he believed he would never recover from. And he didn't. I drew the tree in graphite and glued a half pound mixture of gunpowder and black powder into it and layered on top another quarter pound of the same. Then set it on fire. It was my catharsis. The title ABSALOM came to me...the cry of a father for his son despite his betrayal. Oil paint was then applied with thinner and done at a slight angle so the drips would run askew. The gold yellow was added to imply life beyond death...both for him and for me. There are tiny images drawn throughout as personal symbols though most would never see them. There has to be a place for mystery.
