Angles Painting

I live on the 5th floor of a pre-War building on the upper west side of Manhattan and witnessed a falcon explode a pigeon right next to my living room window. By explode I don’t mean guts but an explosion of feathers, the impact was so forceful, so direct and filled with survival-driven intention. This wild visual experience was sandwiched between two significant occurrences: my asking Source for something compelling to paint and the tragic passing of Flaco The Owl. Please ignore Saatchi’s AI treatment on the second image. The work consists of two hexagonal canvases connected by a rough-hewn cord. I’ve included a nicer interior shot further along in the photos. After painting this diptych, I immediately set about painting the famous Eurasian owl, thinking it would be interesting to study the raptors of neighboring Central Park as a cynical story about urban vs natural predation. However, as I move further into my creative processes I’m feeling drawn to all the free-flying wild things infusing city life and want to paint them. As a result of this innocent asking and the high drama of the answering I see more clearly now and more often, the ethereal moving in amongst the concrete.
