Final Paintings.
I’m working on the last few paintings before my cutoff date, to give them time to dry. One with the working title “Crime Season” is on its way, and interestingly I’ve moved away from oil paint all together in this piece, perhaps its my recent fascination with Gary Hume’s Door paintings, maybe I’m just getting a little tired of the age-old medium, perhaps I’m panicking that I’ll get tunnel vision. Either way, its good to use other mediums, it’s keeping me sharp. “Crime Season” is 5 X 4ft, using imagery from contemporary art, drawings, television & imagined spaces. Its in the same vein of thought as the “Isle of the Dead” paintings, but this one I think has the potential to have a lot more now-ness, feels more openly current, but its early days, we’ll see how it goes.
