welcome _______ i am an american born artist both published and represented internationally. ....... i was and continue to be influenced by artists such as: american painter/hans hoffman, italian installationist/vito acconci, american painter-sculptor/frank stella, german painter/gerhard richter, germans-ansel kiefer/joseph boeys, american painter-printmaker/robert rauchenberg, spanish painter/antonio tapies, franze kline, paul jenkins, alan sonfist, dennis oppenheim, aaron siskin, joel peter witkin, james turrel, diego rivera, chuck close, david hockney, susan sonfist, cindy sherman...... to name just a few of so many other creative souls involved in the arts whether it be dance, film, music, theatre, writing etc....
___ i was conceptually schooled in both the uk and the usa ..... BA/BFA/MFA ..... under the tutelage of several gifted mentors.......i have been producing and exhibiting contemporary art since 1983, working with virtually all media, specifically: conceptual installation, film, painting, performance-art, photography, printmaking, sculpture, theatre and video. my art has evolved over the years beginning with raw and rather ambiguous compositions and then on to 'slick' mainstream pieces, both two and three dimensional. though i enjoyed a high degree of commercial success with this work, i felt compelled to 'reinvent' and venture down another road and thus began to experiment with a more articulative and explorative mixed-media aesthetic. ....... hmmmmmm, so here i am.
my current work embodies both a conceptual and visually abstract narrative. ___ without sounding too anecdotal, my intent is to insert both a metaphorical and philosophical subtext within my art. .... color, marks, objects and texture are my protagonists... the 'canvas' is my stage .... space, form, logic and a meditative sensibility are my common thread. ___ PASSION IS THIS ARTIST'S NEEDLE!!! ___ i work from 'within'.
for me, abstraction is radical, circumvents language, and sidesteps naming or mere description. It disenchants, re-enchants, detoxifies, destabilizes, resists closure and slows perception.
my mixed-media work is a potpourri of inner-soul scavenging and virtually anything and everything. light, texture and the pretense of a 'fifth-dimension' are pertinent considerations within each and every piece. ideally and subsequently, i wish the juxtaposition, re-appropriation of various elements, and ideology within my art will be interpreted as both aesthetically pleasing, mentally provocative, and spiritually challenging.
i've had my occasional ups and downs as all of us certainly have in this temporal universe and i've subsequently dealt with the many demons of anxiety, despair, fear, self-doubt, etc......... ___ over the years i've come to reflect upon my sometime past shortcomings as a human-being, a man and as an artist. my intent now is to address the aforementioned as best i can and continuously retool my karma. the work i post here is a contiguous reflection of this stated intention. ___
thank you for sharing. ___ namaste.
i will be adding text, re-editing and uploading new visuals as time permits. my available works range in size from 20x16x3 thru 96x384x3 (inches) ....... all are authenticated originals and many more are available via my galleries and/or studios.
