REANIMATE

Watercolour on Paper

This piece is a bit of a departure from my last few paintings; I’m experimenting a little.  Pushing further from representation again, while not abandoning it completely (yet).  It was a birthday present for Holly.

This was a birthday present for my friend Jesse, who is, among other things, a gifted musician.  He composed the music that eventually filled my grad film.  I’m not sure how many more pieces I am going to do in this combined “pretentious colour field painting/ink drawing” style.  I really like doing them, but I feel like I’m ready to try some new things.

When I make art that will be a gift (especially if it is a blind Secret Santa style present, as this was) I let the frame help dictate the content.  Hence, my first diptych!  I am proud to say that this piece was “stolen” by my friend Daniel, who in his turn ignited a series of present-thefts that will be Remembered through the Ages.

I should say that this image is actually a composite of the piece scanned outside the frame, and the frame itself, as the scan of the image in the frame lost a lot of detail.

‘Tis the season for gift-art.  This was a birthday present for my friend Katie, who is a superhero and a cyclist rolled into one.  I’m not sure whether the idea for THE ROCK ULTIMATE came before or after this one, but I think of them as loosely related, for what I hope are obvious reasons.
