Much more emotional, intense, less conventional than your earlier paintings. Seems like some kind of medical, psychological scan of a person, that reads pain.
Thanks for the comment. It's reassuring because you mentioned everything I want to painting to be. Things are much more abstract now. For example I am making a large painting (122 x 152 cm) of a simple nude, but the process and composition renders the image almost unrecognizable.
comparing your older (2006) and your newest work, it seems to me a circle has been closed. The way of abstractness you use has undergone a change, but has now somehow come back to the roots...i like it.
Felix: About the title- the current listing i just the camera's auto title. I thought of titles, but it seems right to just let the image speak for itself. An image I tried to keep in mind, however, is the idea of silt on a river bed upset by a footstep, kicking the silt into clear water.
I agree that the work is cyclical. I can only work on a group of pieces for so long before I desire the opposition. Hopefully in the end they will inform each other.
