12:45 PM: i continued work on the new painting i started yesterday: periscope,” 78x23”/198x58cm. right now, it kinda looks like a long, narrow jigsaw puzzle! the title, periscope, derives from the name of the hotel we stayed at while in athens, which is locate dconveniently 4-5 doors down the street form genesis, the gallery where i had my solo show, which just ended a few days ago. for those of youwho missed seeing the show and are located in athens, the works are available to be viewed, if you ask to see them. George Tzaneris, the director will gladly show them to you.
so, getting back to periscope, it hasn’t quite jelled yet, but is in an interesting state. asn always, i need to sit with it for a bit, casting my all important glances from 20+ feet, in order to know my next moves.
a few of the things going on here: the profile face in the center is me making a drawing in the lobby of periscope hotel, on haritos street, athens. the figures at the bottom of the composition are from photos i shot of ancient greek vases, while mindy, marc, mikela & i visited the archeological museum. the form towars the top is a pair of animal horns i shot a photo of in an athenian shop window. above the horns, in lettering you can barely make out: have multiple orgasms today. so is that the greek equivalent of our have a good day?
