Painting, Oil on Wood
Size: 28 W x 28 H x 0.5 D in
Ships in a Box
This painting began with a photo I took of worn old fishing rope wrapped around old pilings near the Provincetown, MA harbor. Wanting to add a figure, I thought of the classical statue of Hercules in the Farnese Palace leaning against a stump with the skin of the Nemean lion he has just killed. I wanted to add Black man and thought of the classical bronze of the Greek boxer. The two men are friends or competitors or in a casual sexual encounter.

United States
Born 1951, Colorado Springs, CO. There seemed to be a lot of pressure, in my mind at least, on an art school student (Rhode Island School of Design 1975) to produce art that is full of ideas -- big ideas, new ideas, radical ideas! To my chagrin but ultimately to my relief, I realized that I really did not have any big ideas. At most, I paint pictures that might be about the remarkable confidence we have (and need to have) when we appear semi-clothed or unclothed out-of-doors, despite our vulnerability. (Or is that just me?) Certainly the ancient gods have been often depicted nude or nearly so because they are the supreme expression of self-confidence.Or the pictures might only be about the transient pleasures of water and sand on a sunny day. Life is better at the beach or next to a pool. See you there!
