The Polaroid collages of the scholarly David Hockney explored one of the many potentialities. In this, as well as some of your high Chroma punk pieces, you have been examining and expanding the lexicon inherent in Cubism. This is brave work and unlikely to be understood by the hoi polloi past your obviously well-honed technical skills.<br /><br />Brainy stuff, my young colleague. Know that there will be a few who have a clue of your direction(always a very few) who see deeper than your facility and hard-won ease (we know that's never easy and just a result of inborn talent). <br /><br />I've seen you repeatedly move away from elegant styles guaranteed to make your fortune and explore the unexplored aspects of content and intent in painting. For that, you have my respect.Rob Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587811799010051018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191563409690633051.post-75080262989996742112011-03-30T10:38:02.728-05:002011-03-30T10:38:02.728-05:00Great post. Well said. I agree with everything you...Great post. Well said. I agree with everything you said... articulated simply and acutely. I also think simple drawings and sketchbooks are "art for artist". When a simple sketch delights me, I get a different response when shown to a non-artist vs a fellow artist. I also want to add a personal observation... I like to think of drawing from life (either models or in the street) as more 'sport'. Painting is very calculated but drawing from life has a bit of spontaneity and a high hand-eye coordination level. It's like basketball! Each drawing is a shot attempt. Some drawing sessions, the ball just won't go in, other times I am on fire. Even star athletes have good and bad days. Maybe soccer is a better analogy since the goal to attempt ratio is so huge. Wow, I thought I would never be that guy that makes sports analogies to other things. And I hope this isn't seen as a shameless plug but here's a quick studies drawing along the same vein. This is a very simple drawing, but it just feels right to me: http://preview.tinyurl.com/4mp9qdpJerardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105596229573448789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191563409690633051.post-36379400625859325602011-03-30T10:36:06.913-05:002011-03-30T10:36:06.913-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jerardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105596229573448789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191563409690633051.post-29328162998299819212011-03-09T00:56:26.494-05:002011-03-09T00:56:26.494-05:00Great.Great.Stephen Cefalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430312663771567684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191563409690633051.post-32377007157779032042011-03-08T19:06:11.347-05:002011-03-08T19:06:11.347-05:00That's how I like to think of things as well. ...That's how I like to think of things as well. It keeps me a bit more optimistic and happy while drawing. I used to stress out about every bad drawing I made but that's why I am drawing; to get better (and because I love it).<br /><br />Anyways, beautiful work! I love the flesh tones you used in the painting.JJackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455639028125970781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191563409690633051.post-57084079525773784542011-03-08T17:00:57.870-05:002011-03-08T17:00:57.870-05:00Excelente ensayo, yo me encuentro pensando lo mism...Excelente ensayo, yo me encuentro pensando lo mismo de los grandes artistas que admiro.
