Yeah yeah yeah!! I'm back again with a sneak peek at the new work - I was trying to keep it under wraps until the upcoming solo show at Finesse, but I'm too stoked and have to give you all a lil look. I've been working nonstop on a new body of abstract work that has a much stronger focus on texture and patina than my previous work, and in short tries to visually elucidate the amorphous relationships between homo sapiens, technology, and the urban environment. This style is extremely time consuming and laborious, because it basically involves layering several paintings on top of each other and discarding the majority of each to make a single new painting. This stacking of layers as a process is evidenced partially as texture within the final painting, and perhaps makes a statement of its own regarding the structure of the aforementioned relationships. The photos you see here (more to come before the show!) are details of much larger works, and obviously aren't very efficient at capturing the texture or patina of the work, so you just gotta come to the show to really check it out!
