The Cirque de MOCAH Masquerade Ball is this weekend! The event celebrates 11 years of youth development by the Museum of Cultural Arts Houston, and Houston's young trendsetters will be spotlighted at the ball.
I have donated this painting, "Me, Myself, and I" to the silent auction. 30"x36" acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas.
Because my work is more an exploration of the internal world than the external, my visual art juxtaposes the passions, spirituality, cultural icons, and rationalizations that define the self. In 'Me, Myself and I' a chaotic, disconnected 'self' is structured as the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual. The life voyage provides a backdrop against which they are made whole through divine intervention.
My art, with its many indulgences and ironies, represents both 'fallen man' as well as the best fruits of a loving brotherhood of man. Non-subjective abstraction provides the opportunity to slash and drip paint using methods that have impact in a physical as well as emotional sense. The kinetic application of paint forces a direct communication upon the viewer that registers on first glance, only to be followed by circumspection and rational interpretation.
