The Spy in My Orange Noir Dream Painting

“Fedoras, thread-worn trench coats, and sultry melodies drifting through open back doors of 1940’s jazz clubs are the substance of my orange-noir dream. And there is the spy in the narrow ally. I can’t see the spy directly because the light keeps shifting. That secret agent - skilled in being invisible - moves too quickly under the cover of deep shadows to be caught. And just when I think I can grab that rat, my reach is too short.” --Jeffrey Hoover The Spy in My Orange-Noir Dream is inspired by mysterious neurological (synesthetic) responses of color and texture that some people experience when hearing music. The music is represented by the textured "calligraphy" progressing across the panel in the back of the spy. Like a memory of a scene from an old film, ideas are transformed as they return in the music, and these can be seen in the visual textures. As with other works by composer and painter Jeffrey Hoover, "The Spy in My Orange-Noir Dream" exists as both a musical composition and a painting. The work is on gallery format wood board, like a deep gallery canvas, ready to hang without framing.
