About The Artwork

It is abstract expressionism - no subject matter, just making materials express emotions. It is a desire to create something beautiful and arresting, something where chaos appears balanced. It is a piece where thin colors are arranged and drawn on and arranged again until it feels finished. This piece feels self-assured, but is secretly struggling. The title is a little dig at myself, as well. Self deprecation is my métier. The idea is to keep your eye moving throughout the image, restless relaxation. For this series and type of work, the pieces are also offered as prints, so that you can enjoy them even if you're on a budget, and you can enjoy them in large, eye-catching sizes. PLEASE NOTE: Some colors may fade over time. It is recommended to either frame this piece behind UV Resistant glass, and/or to hang in a space that doesn't get a ton of direct sunlight. Or to enjoy the changes time brings to all things.

No offense, but I’d rather get shingles than read or write an Artist Statement. All the stories have been told billions of times over, and the reasons are now as prosaic as dust on a coffee table. So here goes: I’m a crazy person. I believe many artists are more-or-less crazy. We spend time developing a secret language we hope other people will want to decipher, and if they do, we hope they will pay us for it. So I’ve been working on my current ‘code’ for 20 years, and you know what? It uses the same symbols as a million other artists. But I hope, at least, you will get that my message is this: life is scary, but we can find the beauty and magic in it (gag). Kids are much better at this than adults, and nature is better at it than the aberration known as humankind. For what it’s worth, the paintings are either on polypropylene paper with ink, acrylic and graphite, or on dry joint compound, (the stuff used in sheet-rocking new homes) with pretty colors soaked in, and other types of marks. It’s an ecosystem of intent and error that, if I’m lucky, balances out compositionally. Sort of.
