in my studio this morning with some of the final selection of oils
2:31 PM: i didn’t get any painting done today. instead i was focused on sorting out and documenting the 23 paintings selected by the director of genesis gallery in athens, for my exhibition opening march 16th.
it was very interesting to remove all the other paintings from my studio walls, where they’ve been for months, and leave only the 23 paintings selected by yiorgos, director of the gallery.
it’s not really fully possible to evaluate what the show will look like until the oils are stretched and the works on paper placed under glass and framed.
i must say, it’s somewhat of a relief not to have so many paintings crowded onto my studio walls. this selection allows me to experience each of the 23 pieces with a fresh eye. you can view them if you click on the genesis show page of this site.
the two square-ish oils, 38x35”/89x97cm.
the smaller works on paper/collages
the mid-size & larger oils on linen: 37 1/3 x 19” / 37 1/x 15 1/2” (95x48 and 95x39 and 89x97 cm.)
