Squid and Ink
Transmission II
Have I mentioned that I am interested in the Spiritualist movement? YEah, of course I have. This one is based a bit more, aesthetically speaking, in the sort of grisaille technique used in traditional oil painting as well as contemporary artists like Cecily Brown.
Religious painting has been a huge influence on me. I appreciate the play of emotions, of joy, sorrow, awe, as well as the near constant forays into what today looks like melodrama. I draw the way I draw because I want to express the kind of grace and tension of traditional figurative painting, though I am simplifying many aspects of the figure by using cartoon animals.
