On continue avec toujours ces 4 personnages qui rythment un espace horizontal de leurs corps. D'ailleurs, si la scène reste une énigme quant à sa signification, sachez qu'elle le reste pour moi aussi. Ce n'est pas que la scène manque de sens, il y en a peut-être beaucoup, mais qu'aucun d'entre eux ne s'agglomère en une ligne directrice qui, justement, ferait sens. Acrylique sur papier, 42 × 29,9 cm

Warm water rinses the greasy soil of nostalgia from her skin. Her shift over, her muscles sink into the rhythmic movement of the waves lapping at her sides, waiting. Soon she hears the crackle of dry vegetation underfoot as the neighbor boys approach through the stiff reeds and the nightly vigil begins. Theirs is not the lecherous glint of the old cook, her mother's “friend,” seeking to exercise his right as her protector. These are as innocent gazes as one can expect in this day, full of joy and secret marveling. They look inward, following the circuitous route of the waterline on her flesh, seeking the dark crevice through which their mothers bore them. She meets the viewers’ gaze, unashamed, her mind cool as a breeze through the open window. Tomorrow, her bath water will inundate the valley, washing centuries of dust and all living things down to the sea. No ancient odalisque, hung safely on the wall, she is a wolf, Iocasta with filed teeth. The circular, incestual surprises of history hold no sway over her, but spiral down the drain with fried fish fat and the lustful thoughts of little boys. The Open Window, 1996, oil on canvas, 48 × 64 inches, 8 pm in The Hours of the Day series. [When the Orange County Museum of Art showed my Hours of the Day series in 2000, I was asked by Director Naomi Vine to explain each painting for the catalogue. I refused, but told her I would write fiction instead.

Strange goings-on at the studio over the weekend… toying with some new ideas about old designs. Playing with some strange underpainting bedfellows… something seems afoot! #artist #art #artwork #draw #sketch #drawing #sketching #painting #artistsoninstagram #figurativeart #figurativepainting #aslnyc #follender2022 #artstudentsleagueofnewyork #figurativepainter #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #narrativepainting #storyteller #arte #artecontemporaneo #oilpainting #underpainting #mythology #mythologyart #paintsketch #artmodel #figuremodel #quickstudy #oilpaintingonpanel #playingwithpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXOwjbumSw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi! I'm excited to have my first solo exhibition at Rich Ramsay Studios, and would like to invite you to the opening. Scorching explores narratives that involve the transformative power of fire. The opening is August 27 from 6-9pm at 147 Front Street, Dumbo, NY. Hope you are having a great summer and I hope to see you there!

Prefiero verte sangrar Que oírte decir 'te quiero'. Os enseño una Metralletita de detalles random de la última obra que he pintado para despedirme de este mini momento de inactividad por aquí... la obra completa la enseñaré dentro de poquito, cuando le tire fotos buenas y toeso. También os explicaré un poco de que va, creo. De primeras puedo decir que es una pintura llena de elementos y la más grande hasta la fecha (160x130cm). 💖 _ _ _ #figurativeart #figurativepainting #dailypainting #figurativedrawing #figurativeartist #narrativepainting #artefigurativo #pinturafigurativa #dibujofigurativo #pinturafigurativa #artemadrid #dibujo (en Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChAd57bIwqI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
