3:50 PM: i made a few additions to tokyo olympics 11 this morning. then i cur 4 new pieces of canvas, all the same size as the tokyo olympics series, and started work on a new series, titled space-g. the g stands for gallery, and the paintings are inspired by photos i shot from above at a space gallery opening some years back. this is the gallery where i show my work in denver, and where i receently had an exhibition.
a mother holding her child stands next to a vase of flowers and a second figure is on the upper right. it’s intentionally not clear what that figure is doing, but the forms give you hints, and the viewer will have to determine what’s going on up there. the floor at space does not have the pink and red patterning you see in the painting, so it’s kind of a mix of reality and fantasy.
not sure right now whether i’ll do more tomorrow. maybe.
