My latest painting


For some reason, people always guess wrong when I tell them I've been painting. When I've been busy with my pen and inks, they assume I'm painting a house; when I'm house painting, they assume I'm working with my pen and inks (or acrylics, or oils...).
Just so there's no confusion, I offer an example of my recent work. I'll admit the influence of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko, but don't tell James.

The lack of a focal point suggests the existential disarray of contemporary life. Yet there appears to be a subtle grain to the work, lending it an abstract but post-impressionistic quality. The colors, which move from a fleshy tone to a pale green, recall the color schemes of Klimt and his exploration of Eros in the face of Thanatos. All in all, an excellent contribution to the search for meaning in late modernity.
