La Romanée Wine Bottle (SOLD) Painting

When I was a young painter I discovered that in some paintings everything fell into place like magic, while other paintings did not function at all. I thought that this was a part of the craft that I had to study and practice, and when I was good enough I could start painting something. It even had innocent craft like names like composition and balance. But over the years I learned that there was no permanent solution and that composition and balance is what it’s all about. As abstract painting, at the time, was a dead end street I looked to the 17th century still-life painters who seemed to be aware of the abstract side of painting. After turning my back on everything modern for a few years I began to realize that there was an obvious relationship between the paintings I was doing and early modernism and especially cubism, and that I, like the cubists, was working with cubes, cylinders and cones etc. And as the early abstract painters I realized that “form” composition and balance was not something to be learned once and for all, but the main, forever changing and forever challenging subject of painting.
