Das Boot

Oil on canvas, 26" x 20". This was originally envisaged as a purely minimalist image a la the Black Square - and here's what came out in the end. Sometimes I wonder who is really at the wheel here ... As to the concept itself, try to chew on the words - slowly, meticulously, as if savoring a spoonful of caviar. D-a-s B-0-0-t! Ah, delicieux! Get your own allusions, I ain't sharing mine.

Bird Eats Fish I

Oil on canvas, 20" x 26". Following my first experiments with painting on unprimed canvas (see Fish Eats Bird, 2008, below) I have come up with an idea to make it a series - half a dozen to a dozen similarly executed images, to be tentatively known as "Good Eats". This is the next step up, and another version of same (Bird Eats Fish II) is already in the works. Stick around, and let's see what else the food chain brings.
