Word Vallario. You know Shostopa has done some painting in the past. He'll tell you about it if you ask him. It might be time to see one from him soon too.
As to Shostopa's comment. They are done on two different canvases. That's why they are split. If you notice each 4x6 on the decription. But I understand why you would say that. It looks odd if you didn't know they were truly split as on two different canvases.
As to Vallario's comment. Any comparison to Picasso could only be flattering. I love him. Lately I have been thinking of Frieda Kahlo, and as of today Hieronymus Bosch.
As to Kana's comment. I'm not too sure if there will be any such action. The implication of any such tension to me is more interesting.
Very cool -- sort of like revisiting the giant Barbee in a new medium. I like these a lot. I would have missed that they were separate if you hadn't pointed it out. Due to the corner of the wall being visible only on the left, I feel really drawn across and to the right. That really gives the sense of a single painting. If the colors were more vibrant, I would suggest a similarity to Lego characters, but the muted grey tones seem to distance the figures from that comparison . . . Now that I think of it, I sort of wonder whether paintings of Barbee and Lego-looking characters doing un-wholesome or un-expected things wouldn't be pretty interesting. Kind of a www.bertisevil.com approach to the security of childhood toys and imagery.
Those paintings were really just studies. If in person you could see the detail better. I wanted to do a couple tiny pieces with a lot of detail.
The last time I was in Chelsea in New York. I went through fifty galleries and had an overwhelming feeling to vomit.
The work was very upsetting to me. No one seemed to believe in doing detailed beautiful painting or drawing anymore.
Then I went to a Van Gogh show at the Met and was awe struck. He had a show of his early drawings and there were two tiny drawings of an old man and an old woman. They were so powerful. Just the expression. The detail.
I wanted to do something similar. If there is any concept in these it would be the expression. The relationship between the two figures expressed in the emotion of a facial expression. That's it.

I wish this wasn't split dead center...
You know what, fuck me, who am I?
Your paintings are really nice and I
keep projecting my own B.S. on them.
But really, the man's side is too small.
True.

I'll whip something out soon.
A painting, I mean.

Hi Lucky.

Very best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.
