The Ocean Dreams The Drunken Boat Painting

The inspiration for this series of paintings spanning over 45 years if Arthur Rimbaud's Poem. This is the most recent expression of it but is also a part of all of my Astronaut Space walk paintings, as well as my ocean and wave paintings - all parts of the same cosmic theme of human participation in the cosmic ocean and the universe. Very important is the realization of one's own individuality within the terrestrial world - especially at this moment when there is a crushing inertia against individuality and the individual. In this sense this is a political statement and a rejection of the collective. It is a call to each viewer to Nature, and a rejection of every enforcement of the mob in society. In this painting version the figure and boat are drawn in charcoal, suffused with and dominated by the 'heavy' water - it is told from the point of view of the ocean instead of the figure (character) and his recitation.
