Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. |

About Me |
|
| I paint in acrylics, usually on 24"x48" or 48"x48" panel. Took art in school but have spent the past decade trying to forget or unlearn most of what they taught me. I paint as if nobody but me will ever see my art and don't ever plan a painting but let it evolve as I work. I consider myself and expressionistic figurative painter. My subject matter encompasses the experience of existing. It describes the joy, terror and other feelings or emotions associated with being and existence through bright color and texture.

I'd like to meet:"Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do its bidding." Pablo Picasso 1881 - 1973 Picasso's staggering output -- more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and photographs -- gave him an exposure unprecedented for a living artist. The fact that he spearheaded the century's most important movement (cubism), invented its defining technique (collage), and painted its most imposing masterpiece ("Guernica") makes it hard to think of any modern artist -- including rivals and elders -- who didn't at some point in his career take cues from Picasso's Paris studio. If modernism had a pope, it was Picasso. "Art cannot be modern, art is eternal." Egon Schiele 1890-1918 "They will not get it into their heads that these paintings were created in all seriousness and in suffering, that they are the products of sleepless nights, that they have cost me blood and weakened my nerves." Edvard Munch 1863–1944 In response to the question "How do you know when you're finished?", Pollock replied "How do you know when you're finished making love?" Jackson Pollock 1912 - 1956 "The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech." Vincent van Gogh 1853 – 1890 "Darkness has always had its part to play. Without it, how would we know when we walked in the light?" Clive Barker born October 5, 1952 |
