ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Acrylic painting on canvas oiseaux chanteurs nocturnes Inspired by "The Birds" (Gli uccelli), a suite for small orchestra by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi (1928). The work is based on music from the 17th-century and represents an attempt to transcribe birdsong into musical notation, and illustrate bird actions, such as fluttering wings, or scratching feet. The work is in five movements: • "Prelude" (based on the music of Bernardo Pasquini) • "La colomba" ("The dove"; based on the music of Jacques de Gallot) • "La gallina" ("The hen"; based on the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau) • "L'usignuolo" ("The nightingale"; based on the folksong "Engels Nachtegaeltje" transcribed by recorder virtuoso Jacob van Eyck) • "Il cucù" ("The cuckoo"; based on the music of Pasquini) Specific performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy, conductor, 1966

A Northern Virginia based career abstract expressionist, recognized for non-figurative, nonobjective and nonrepresentational paintings and drawings. The meaning in his work is expressed as an emotional experience. It also stems from a lifetime pursuit in philosophy and music. As a modernist, he is in search of new modes of visually connected spiritual expression. "Abstraction has corollary vibrations with music and pure spirituality." He also visualizes full-color, detailed works during dreams. Working in a meditation, a spontaneous interplay of complex, descriptive imagery through a flow of strokes, one leading to another. "When a painting starts to reveal complexity, there is an subconscious emphasis on asymmetrical balance." His work has been described as process oriented, non-objective, and painterly as opposed to a more conceptual or analytical abstraction. Paintings have both an organic and architectural feel.
