I really dig these paintings. I appreciate it when work continues to affect me after I see it, and I’ve found myself thinking about these paintings a number of times this last week. There is something about the primacy of they eyes in this work that I’ve wondered about a lot since we had Rowbi. Those little kids are really attracted to big eyeballs in cartoons and images. It’s a recognition of life-likeness that I think we maintain as adults, but it becomes more sophisticated. We look instead for the gleam.. the * in the eye that indicates life-likeness. It sounded like many people had the response to your work. That imagery combined with the layering and excavation process is powerful. Very cool. Congrats. Feels good to make good work. It means you’re becoming a better person.
