Untitled Cat. No. B1-120 Painting

My scale isn't usually the extravagance of the Abstract Expressionists. But this one is. It punctuates and gives pause to turning points in a "story." I paint in acrylic at a larger scale. The acrylics offer me a greater color spectrum than oils. Pearlescent colors give the work an extra-terrestrial tone. The caricature lines surrounding some of the elements are suggestive of political cartooning statements or those of the late works of Philip Guston. I have Macular Degeneration, which hasn't hindered my painting abilities. Edgar Degas said that his macular condition had forced him to paint not so much as what was in front of him but what he saw in his imagination. In my case, I found myself thinking in terms of micro/macro lenses. Ideas sprang to life through my external AND internal vision. The fantasies between the real and the unreal come together fluidly. They are inventions of what may be percolating in our future, which is the story beneath the surface of the painting. The B1-120 painting has a black intrusive form in conflict with other elements, as did the black monolith in Kubrick's "2001, A Space Odyssey." Thought provoking, isn't it?
