Dark Horizon

Dark Horizon
Academically speaking, this is an exercise in juxtaposing formal and gestural elements―a constant in my work. The figures are literally “carved out” of a very loose layering of color.
Discovering them, defining them, is pure pleasure for me. The palette lends this painting a certain solemnity which emphasizes the contrast between the “teeming” earth and the (indifferent?) sky.
