"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."
I worked with Sie ist Idaho ( a wonderful artist and model) on this piece, part of the Visceralia Series. If you’re a Howard Cruse fan, it might remind you of a poster that was on Barefootz’ wall. I like the power in this one.
