Oh Sweet, Sweet
Country Of Mine

[60 x 42]
Mixed-media, pencil, gouache, gold leaf paint.

Rapid execution with a sense of tragedy. Formulation of a figure that dances in unison with itself. Its posture is its pace… its prance is its parade… its pallet is its perversity.

The figure is strip searched, bleached to the bone, then in a porridge of eclectic energy the skeleton of what is left is given life… the model, the pose , the Nijinsky is dead, A death wish calls out from its patriotic colors. We can only hope that the shadow of doom that defines its presences is ‘not’ of things to come. A predatory display of force… in a painted dance takes on an ominous nature.

This male nude form is delivered in multi-media gouache, the figure is formed out by graphite pencil which then turns against it in scratches and incisions of handwritten hysteria. With an electrified presentation it is its intention to pump the viewers blood with energy while feeling the movement under the curtain of strips that veil it.
