Bat Totem Print

This painting is part of a series done on hand stretched raw canvas. I love the effect of paint on unprimed canvas, it allows for a whole new set of interesting accidents. I tend to use water based paints because I like the quick dry time and lack of fumes. This painting started with a compositional idea from a photo collage I made that involved photos of me, a taxidermy bat from the Van Gogh museum, and a pen and ink self portrait. The outcome is quite different from the photo collage, but the elements are there. I hope that this work is considered beautiful and ugly at the same time. Disturbing to the mind like a bat but pleasing to the eye like a flower. Inspired by the art of Marlene Dumas, Huma Bhabha, Georg Baselitz, Don Van Vliet, Francis Bacon.
