ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The list of what goes into the making of these large and complex paintings includes everything from precious small-batch oil paints to common house paint, along with tar, acrylic paint, charcoal, pastel, lacquer and modeling paste. Influences include Robert Rauschenberg, Julian Schnabel and Terry Winters. But the most direct inspiration for this series was the show of Albert Oehlen's paintings at the Gagosian in 2012, arousing what one critic called “a sense of delight and play” that harkens back to Rauschenberg's combine paintings of the late 50's. These paintings have been placed not only in contemporary settings, but surprisingly in rooms of fine antiques as well, creating a tension between the classic and the contemporary.

Delivery Time:

I have been selling my art worldwide since around 1990. For eight years I had a gallery on Magazine Street in New Orleans; I sold it in 2019 and moved everything online - which is where things seemed to be headed. My paintings are in fine collections from Beirut, to London, to mansions in Aspen and the California wine country. But it's important to me that the prices not rise to where they are unaffordable for collectors who are not wealthy; so I try to keep them reasonable. My influences include Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Julian Schnabel and Sean Scully. I have never been interested in the forms I choose for my paintings. I make quick decisions about them. What matters to me is surface quality, color, line quality, negative space. Sometimes the negative space is more important than the forms that push forward.
