Allusions to Life Series

Allusions to Life 1 Oil on Canvas (72" x 36") 2011
“You connect yourself to the viewer by sharing something that is inside of you that connects with something inside of him. All you have as your guide is that you know what moves you.” ~Steven Brust

The series I am working on at the moment follows on from my series Custody of the Senses.  I want to develop the idea of contrasts existing and co-existing within the work.

Initially I have worked on two canvases, placing them together.  Exploring both depth and surface in the composition and the subject itself, examining the interior and exterior, as well as probing with an honesty that may seem to be brutal but handled with tenderness.  To imagine and to experience and thereby attain a physical confrontation and encounter between the subject and the emotion.
