2006 Removing the Veil part 1


close up of 2006 Removing the Veil Oil on Canvas. 6" X 8". 12" X 16" overall.

This is one of four posts as many others that is just a quarter of the entire composition. I am doing this to pull you back and slow down your input speed so you might just see a glimpse of what I have actually done. It's all in the details...

My work moves in multi dimensions. My canvases are a place where objects, places, animals and people are all interwoven, interlocked through a myriad of organic rhythms or ripples in time space. Each passage is a movement into or back from another place, another time. If you look closely and stay calm for a moment as you look at my work you might see on closer inspection owls, other birds, horses, people, or landscapes.

This is the world that I feel we live in. We think we see solid. But with the myriad of imagery and volume of images we see each day from the newspaper, to the web, to the TV we are really bombarded by millions of images, thoughts and ideas everyday. Our brains are just doing there best to filter out and make sense of it all for us. This however doesn't keep us from the experience. This work expresses this thick web in the detail while I try to create an overall composition that is cohesive.

So this piece Removing the Veil is about my removing the visual veil of my work, while creating an air of mystery about the art and the abstract by limiting how much of each piece is seen at a time. It is also about the real concept of Removing the Veil of deceit and deception that manifests itself in this world. About revealing the physical beauty of the human female form. And most importantly Removing the Veil that shrouds the freedom of women. From a man's view point of course.
