Artist Statement:
My oil on wooden panel
paintings demonstrate a
curiosity and fondness for a
traditional subject, the human
figure, and utilize a
representational vocabulary to
examine an interest in current
modes of interpersonal
interaction. The work has
evolved in conjunction with an
investigation of contemporary
figurative painting with the
purpose of translating a
traditional genre and subject
matter into a present art
historical and cultural
context. The resulting
paintings utilize recurrent
art historical themes of the
isolated figure and the
sublime, meanwhile
contributing to a contemporary
conversation surrounding
painting in the twenty-first
century. I emphasize a
disjunction of conventional
figure/ground relationships by
disrupting spatial unity,
emphasizing chromatic
disagreement, and highlighting
the disparities between
multiple image sources.
Thematically, the tensions
that exist as a result of
these formal discontinuities
reflect the complex nature of
interacting with people and
places in the 21st century, an
age when virtual reality often
occurs simultaneously with
physical reality. The work
displays a syntactic
heterogeneity based on shifts
in painted mark making that
firmly places it within the
discourse of contemporary
painting.
