Male Nude, half torso, half turned Painting

Again the description for this painting suits the whole series. This nude was one of the first I painted of this series, and it actually was inspired by a man I have never seen naked. But do I need to? No, I paint him. This painting is part of a series of male nudes. I start not by the male image, but by covering the sheet with movements and signs implied in calligraphy. That is, from these painted signs I could form letters. Instead I repeat the gesture before a letter might turn up, and sometimes abandon the path of writing altogether. Then I might "scribble" with my paintbrush. Then I might leave the painting for one or several days. When I return to it, I begin looking for the male nude that lies within the signs. So sometimes the painting is started with a clear vision of what kind of male body I feel or want to know. Other times I have no idea to begin with, but, as I wrote above, I search and find for the male body. Ofcourse this sounds a bit as if it were all just happening, slightly by chance, but I actually envision something that is already there. One day maybe I'll be able to actually find such freedom as to paint something which I never intended to paint.
