In preparations for next month’s “Absolute & Complements” show at the Schnormeier Gallery (Mt. Vernon, OH), I’ve been working on a handful of new paintings. This latest painting is from the same piece of wood as “Absolute: Certainty” and is just as petite. Although small in size, it still has much to say. Read on to learn more
Today I’m introducing my newest oil painting in the “Absolute” series, “Absolute: Denial”. Like its predecessors, this is framed and painted on entirely reclaimed wood. This new piece pushes my normal use of chroma intensity a new height. I’m actually quite fond of the result. Scroll through for process slides, including the dresser from which the wood has come.
At just over 4 1/2″ wide, this is the smallest “Absolute” painting in existence. However, don’t let the small-scale fool you. “Absolute: Certainty” has so much to say. With exposed painterly edges and remnants of the pencil drawing underneath, this is the first painting in the series to harken back to its creation. To learn more, scroll beyond the image.
Some tables are built for working. You can hammer, make a mess, & pretend that the drink you knocked over isn’t a big deal…
… then again, some tables are actually an expensive custom-built coffee table that is slated to sell at a gallery as fine art furniture. As you can probably gather, it was for this reason precisely that I decided to make a much needed addition to my work space: “The Working Work Table”! Check out the gallery below to see the latest addition.
