About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
I’m a self-taught painter, 59, working out of North Carolina. Stylistically I feel an affinity to surrealism, symbolism, and the decadents – with a healthy appreciation of the Pre-Raphaelites and the Nazarenes. I love strong lines, and containment. I destest the degenerate cezannisms/renoirisms that led to the greater part of the 20th century being an artistic wasteland… Not that I dislike wastelands, but we must be particular in which particular dystopia we choose to invest ourselves in. I like a dystopia that can be preserved in formaldehyde, behind glass. Even the most intolerable atrocity can be tolerated if it’s behind glass.
