"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."

Dysphagia No.13

A stan­dard fig­ure draw­ing pose is the basis for the piece from the Dys­pha­gia Series. it was a cold day in Decem­ber, around Christ­mas time when I decided to paint the sec­ond layer. Mod­els were nowhere to be found, but then there was Craigslist.

A young lady named Malin posed for the sec­ond layer. Some nice spa­cial things hap­pen with the close up, mid shot con­trast.
One of my favorites.
