Relentless 4 Painting

ARTIST STATEMENT I don’t paint the picture, I paint only the reality of the world which humans have been destroying in an unprecedented assault while remaining unobtrusive. Likewise I do the same with my artworks, rendering sky, water, trees, land, etc. from multiple layers of wall putty, CaCO3, emulsion primer, adhesive, stainer, and enamel oil which are primarily materials used to build houses--connecting urbanization with chaos. Then, in emulation of environmental devastation, I burn (like the burning of forests) and rework the surface with iron soldering, tearing away at the material with a chisel like the giant Krupp machines mining the earth. Unfortunately, humans have to refund nature on a monumental scale.
