When I Get Home Painting

In this painting two male partners cling to and admire each others bodies and selves in a private dance of love that they have imagined and longed for during the day leading up to this private celebration. The gender and anatomical ambiguity of the the partially obscured bodies (a breast here, an extra arm fondling oneself there) alludes to the specificity non-requirement inherent in the intent and actuality of desiring and/or loving another person. Of a less enlightened character though is the atmosphere of societal disapproval from which this mutual admiration formed, took root and blossomed. Thus this beautiful joining of symmetrical forms coming together harmoniously and unimpeded, as viewed elegantly from above, has nonetheless been carved and ratcheted out with difficulty from thick, resistant stock to finally give way to a hard-won brutal beauty, the scars of the conquest remaining visible as of necessity. Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
