Histories behind the Large Figure Paintings

May 2013    7 x 4 feet
White 2005 7 x 4 feet

"Knowing and The Other, No. 1- Blue"  7 x 4 ft from the the series of 20+ paintings.   The series considers figures in antiquity as painting analogies for events in modern history. The male figure is an homage to young men whose experience of WWI forever altered society. The plank at his feet is derived from a period photograph of wood-laid trails in Verdun.  (Blue refers to Kieslowski's Film, "Blue".) The figure is nude in homage to youth and recalls Roman statues on which anatomy was often destroyed as acts of revenge but is replaced here in preference to life, peace.

Medieval art and archaeology might have been the central influences of my artistic life had immersion in film theory and political philosophy not come about. Most of the large figure paintings recall the standing figures of medieval churches and "ethnographic" paintings across time. But they are also about scenes and enactment, specifically the painterly question of arresting implied violence in earlier art or other abberations and making peace in their stead.

                                 "Knowing and the Other: White" 7 x 4 ft. (Right) and its historical model (Left) The toddler-deities'  love embrace is transformed into adult play in my 7 x 4 foot painting.
 "Life of the Archer" (Right)  is stylistically based on Manet oil sketches (Left).
