DOMINGO, EL DOCE DE DICIEMBRE, VIENTE-DIEZ
A recently completed painting, titled 'Neo-Contemporary Self Portrait', now winging it's way to a new home in Denver, Colorado.
The painting is made up of several symbols that, I believe make up me and my practice. I don't want to spell it out (I dread it when someone asks me 'what it means', I tell them something and they instantly believe it)
There's a reference to Fra Angelico's 'Mocking of Christ' fresco from San Marco, Florence, Italy; also a reference to Philip Guston's Klan figures in the hills. Beato is Italian for 'Blessed' (Fra Angelico was known as Il Beato Angelico) and my silhouette is saying 'nothing'
Now, all you have to do is the math.
