ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is an original oil painting on canvas re-creating the feeling of a collage. In my newest series, “The Rise and Fall,” I explore the layering of human history and how it relates to nature. I use scraps of salvaged, painted papers, vintage wallpapers and a retrospective of black and white images combined into collages that I then translate into oil paintings on canvas. Themes touched on include conceptual play with DaDa references, alongside a serious message about mortality, the cycle of life, and the fragility of nature. Painting ships wired and ready to hang in a high-quality, durable, and recyclable cardboard shipping crate designed to ship artwork worldwide. Framing the canvas is optional. My framing recommendations are included. Signed on back.

My work examines modernism and our relationship to nature throughout history. My decades-long interest in birds developed while observing birds owned by my grandfather, who was a bird breeder during an era when harboring birds in cages was popular. My oil paintings are faux-collages on canvas recreating the forms of torn vintage documents from various eras. Color, pattern and texture are layered like sedimentary rock from our collective history, with details such as intentional drips, marks and signs of age applied by hand. Birds are the protagonists, foraging what mankind has left behind. In my work the birds are free, telling a story with fragments from our past. Also included here are my collages and ink drawings on paper, done as studies for my larger oil paintings.
