The Study of Life
My intent as a
painter is to arrest motion on canvas, to capture life and hold it fixed. I am
interested in making paintings of personal experiences, some as I remember and
others as I prefer to remember them.
Referencing family photo albums and contemporary imagery, I aim to
create a nostalgic world once imagined, now conceivably constructed with
paint. As I reflect on memories I
hope to bring to life a personal mythology to better understand my reality.
In this show I chose
to focus on seven hypothetical stages of human development from the vantage
point of a male raised in suburban US. Ranging from the freedom of a child to
the joys of an elderly father at a family dinner, each painting represents a different
phase of life.
