ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Inspired by the unabating controversy over the papacy of Francis Bergoglio, his many ambiguous statements of Catholic doctrine, and the decidedly unfavourable comparisons his detractors make of him with pope emeritus Benedict, this figurative work's title "The Benedict Option" gives euphemistic voice to the demand that he relinquish his position to his forbear. The composition brings into relief the dialectic of discontinuity and continuity by juxtaposing the present and the previous popes, and unifying their clashing personalities to their symbolic person which is as much a prisoner as it is a vehicle for their authority in the chair of the pope of the Roman Catholic church. Painted with artist grade watercolours on acid free, 25% cotton paper, this work is durable and will remain fresh and vibrant indefinitely.

As an artist I'm interested in classical style as well as modern technique. Specifically, I'm interested in using the visual idioms of classical style, with their emphasis on accuracy, perspective, and proportionality, in the service of creating representational art that conveys more than a photograph can. While I work with pastels, pencils, and acrylics too, I am partial to watercolours. Though watercolours are considered by some to be a poorer cousin of oil paint I believe this is an unfair and inaccurate view, encouraged on one hand by the demandingess and temperamental nature of the medium and on the other hand the enviable freshness and spontaneity it can bring to a composition in the hands of a master, In addition to my pursuit of visual art projects, I write nonfiction essays, and reviews for arts and culture website
