"...and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire... there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad
I am influenced by the classical and the romantic, striving to mimic their monumentality, divinity and quiet brutality in my own work. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma.
My recent work involves scraping away a wet layer of white latex paint to create lines and forms with the black base beneath. The use of metal tools for scraping is reminiscient of excavation, construction, warfare or the strigil of Lysippos' Apoxyomenos.
