Artist's Comments

emergent representation; life emerges from chaos. this is a combinination of representational and non-objective elements that exist on the same plane of consistancy. the figure diffuses into the atmosphere of light and shadow. the being in its entirety extends past the physical embodiment. the figure is held onto and lost at once.

this one is still not where i'd like it to be. there are missing elements and it is not considered a finished painting.

16"x20" palette knife on canvas
6-7 hours including underpainting

p.s. this photograph does not give the thick and abrasive surface texture justice.

Amazingly done.
The texture is gorgeous.
And the technique is just awsome.
Very abstract yet still realistic.... Raw in a way...
