Orange Freeway Painting

This work is concerned with finding intersections and overlaps between contradictory ideas and practices. It embraces some of the historic traditions and concerns of landscape art while trying to invoke the emotional power of pure painterly abstraction. It strives to create a condition where the ideas that inform the art making and the paint on the canvas achieve a meaningful balance. I view these paintings as symbolic, nostalgic artifacts from the golden age of carbon-based fuels that evoke bittersweet feelings of loss and regret. They hark back to a time, especially in Southern California where I grew up, when we moved from place to place without a thought in our collective head as to how we were affecting the environment and our natural inheritance. I see them now as illusory “free” ways where we painted our dreams with enormous concrete brush strokes, all the while making unintended changes to the world’s climate and the future of humanity.
