REINHEITSGABOT (a.k.a PAINT TUBES, ETC.) - mixed media on reinforced cotton duck canvas, wood, metal, resin, etc. |
|
Here we see used, "uncleaned" artist brushes jammed into a pop art soup can, and surrounded by expended tubes of oil paint. Look closely. See that this is really an abstraction of a flower bouquet, a gift of love from the muse to the starving artist... but now in the hands of an investment banker in Paris, France. Reinheitsgabot is a German word meaning perfection in brewing... And so it is! Click on the image for enlarged view |

PAVING OAHU - handbrushed and impasto oil paint on reinforced cotton duck canvas, wood, metal, and Hawaiian road toads. (25" x 37" x 4") Museum Collection / Honolulu |
|
It is 3 o'clock in the morning on the North shore of Oahu. Picture "Goldstein" and the artist happily roller blade skating down the middle of a remote country lane with plastic beach bucket and shovel in hand. See our do daring heroes scrape up the medfly infested bodies of dozens of dead "road toads", all of them flattened by tourist rental cars Now see our outlaw heroes pack their mysterious booty into plastic baggies... and smuggle them back to the artist's ghetto studio in L.A. Smuggling marijuana would have been much easier; the odor of pot is not as strong as dead "road toads". Later... the artist would immerse the dead toads in acetone, leaving them on the roof top of the studio building to dry out. Eventually... the artist would find himself painting the gnarly toads... gluing them to paintings and other things. "Paving Oahu" is a very good example of this shaman process.

ROSE BOWL - handbrushed and heavy impasto oil on reinforced cotton duck canvas, wood, metal, etc. |
|
"Rosebowl" is the view of a football player enjoyed when he stared into the stands of fans. This painting shows what he saw from the field! It was a view of colorful caps and shirts... pulsing and quivering in chaotic rhythms. It was a beautiful thing to behold. It was a living thing that wanted to devour him. Well... fan is short for fanatic, and when fans get together, they become a mass of people on the verge of losing control. Click on the image for enlarged view |

THE KISS
- handbrushed and impasto oil on reinforced cotton duck canvas, wood, metal, resin, etc. |
|
If human could get beyond of the cosmic explosion that astronomers and physicists called Big Bang, you would find yourself in space without time, matter, or energy. This place, the space beyond the Big Bang, is called the void. It's a forbidding blackness that even ETs (and other small gods) dread dumb and dead with absolute terror. They know that the void is a dark place of no return. Nonetheless something lurks out there, but it's not definable. Not knowable. So... the message of "The Kiss" says that the Universe, is very much larger than the universe that "tribe all" egos might think. In "The Kiss" we see two electri-fried fish kissing in a field of stars. But,.. take a closer look here, the fish are eyes, and they're looking back at you! Click on the image for enlarged view |

NO TIME FOR
SEX - handbrushed and heavy impasto oil on reinforced canvas board, wood, machined metals, etc. |
|
The starving artist is busy, busy, busy with his muse. He has no time (and no money) for sex. Not that these are particularly good times for sex; the 60's are long gone. Women, particularly the feminists, wage war against the men these daze, and the gay Mafia, presently wielding tight dick-tatorial control over the status quo in arts, pulls and pushes a rather narrow agenda (butt-fucking, cock-sucking, etc.) Apparently... love has been lost to lust, and lust without love soon become lousy sex! Yes, if you happen to be a straight white male, your sorry ass won't ever be correct-ass in the visual arts --- right ass as well as the left one. The artist doesn't really give a fuck anymore. He holds no tolerance for stern and angry women with battle axes to grind, and he certainly won't come to the aides of hedonistic folks going against millions of years of natural selection. Thus... the artist has "no time for sex"... unless Annie shows up. Then all the world will change, because love (especially true love) changes everything! Click on the image for enlarged view |
