Behind The Brush Strokes

The purpose of my paintings is to represent transposed images, containing exuberant qualities, providing a type of poetic ambiance and sensationalism. A network of communication is coordinated within the design elements and within my mind to unleash a disembodied performance on canvas.

The transposed images depicted in the paintings are a variation of transmuted languages as a result of transmigration of thought and imagery. The images are altered mechanically, through Xeroxing, scanning, and projecting. Imagery is also transformed by any moods effecting drawing motor skills alone, and the choice and application of colors, with conscientious planning. The order of restructuring of elements continues throughout the entire process of painting

The images, which are selected, are primarily from collected print media and collage. After being removed from the original settings, they are placed in new ones as compositional layouts, prior to painting and often during the painting process. These transformational elements are applied both intuitively and conscientiously in a process of implicating a particular motif for each painting. Usually the finality is provocative, serving aesthetic exuberant purposes, within the theme I'm working on.

A telepathic interplay between the subject elements takes place in my designs, through a choice selection of anonymous, popular, and dreamlike subject arrangements. The elements are modified and juxtaposes in an improvisational fashion, until a statement is accomplished, and the painting is considered finished.

The finality is spontaneous unleashing of a disembodied spirit in performance. Many of the outcomes, I do not deny, border on the ridiculous, and others harbor a mystical seriousness. An emotionally charged hyperbole must be authenticated to accentuate the productions. The final synthesis manifests in portrayals of melodramas, seemingly twilight consciousness, suggestions of mysticism, intoxication, slapstick humor, and situational comedies.
