About The Artwork
This Putti series was inspired by a visit to Havana, Cuba. There is a large cemetery there called Necropolis Colon. The cemetery is filled with unbleached headstones which were striking because of their vastness and uniformity. It is well worth a visit if in Havana. I hope the structure of the image and the handling of the material in a sophisticated painterly way is equally if not more important than the narrative. I often use drawing with water based materials on paper as a quick way to put down ideas. In this “Putti’ series in particular I was able to make a complete visual statement with the materials I was using.

As an image maker I like to work with degrees of abstraction. I have a few recent series of images that are figure oriented. These works have been born out of a very minimalist foundation where I tried to achieve a dynamic in a shallow space using a limited palette of earth tones and grey scale and pushing the limitations of the palette as far as I could hopefully evoking a sense of color. The earlier experiments had me thinking about the muscularity of the organic shapes pushing and pulling on each other within 2 dimensions. Even the simple shapes took on personality and in my mind there is always a battle or a tussle between the two forces and the abstract marks and movements held a narrative. The muscularity under the skin of the painting and a life force emanating from deep inside the painting is what I look for. …and after all that I still tell everyone…ultimately I am a still life painter…
