Message from the artist about "Lunar Symphony":
Lunar Symphony is an immersive painting installation featuring a large work on unstretched canvas dropcloth and a variety of circular tondo paintings.
These works are like channel-surfing with a paintbrush as images, elements of text and abstract tropes comingle on the well -worked surfaces of the canvas. The series of circular paintings re-invent the classical tondo format and are spontaneous manifestations of my daily painting ritual. My paintings are a hand-made analog alternative to the digital image vortex that all of us are immersed in.
During the past 40 years of my painting I have often focussed on the depiction of avian imagery. Lunar symphony presents Parliament of Owls-a large scale work on a recuperated unstretch canvas dropcloth. Owls have been seen as messengers from the beyond and harbingers of occult mysteries. My paintings seek to provide an oasis of active contemplation, offering a reservoir of painterly pleasure and provocation.
