Exile, Series 32 #28 Painting

For a $200 discount please ask to have this work shipped rolled in a tube. Otherwise, it will arrive ready-to-hang with hardware included. It is signed on the front with my initials, and along the bottom edge of the selvage with my initials, last name, date completed, and the series number. All paintings in this series incorporate high quality traditional media on extra-strong #10 cotton duck canvas. The painted area is primed with glear gesso and sealed with two layers of soft-gel gloss isolation coat. They are stored unstretched in flatfiles, and are stretched on bars only when exhibited or sold. ------- My works represent a constant outpouring of singular impressions: clearly isolated images that capture flashes of emotion, changes in perception, or moments of recognition. I give fleeting thoughts as much consideration as monumental ideas: nothing is more important than anything else and every small thing has its place. My process is modeled after the methods of improvisational theater. I make a first mark, then ask myself, “if this is true, what else is true?” I repeat this process with the addition of each new element, using personal experience to shape the final image. Each image represents an isolated narrative, yet all the images together tell a larger story. My accountability for the truth and permanence of this story is an important part of my identity as an artist. This is why I make all my works in sequential series, and never destroy or hide any of them.
