It's like an abstract surrealist painting. Is that a thing? How did he do that? It's slightly eerie but the clear and luminous colors pull me in. I think because doesn't have a main focal point it feels like just part of an amazing scary landscape that could continue seamlessly in any direction. I really would like to see what the upper left corner expands into. There are a number of fairly self contained, involved subjects. I think I have mentioned that by the end of a tv show i have forgotten the beginning, so this painting is so fun, i just start somewhere and look and look.SF MOMA didn't have any prints. So I tried to forge it. But, it really, really didn't come out.
I put down all the colors as planned but I couldn't manage to put in anything to look at. It looks just like a boring, flat background, in ugly colors. I think if the colors were right (this photo shows the yellow pretty well but the blue is less bright in real life.) I would like it. I had fun making the white parts iridescent, and drawing the gray parts with candle smoke,* and making the blue disperse with laundry detergent.** Also I was scorning it pretty hard when i took the pic so I didn't put it right way up- the side at the left is the top. Or maybe it didn't fit on my couch that direction.* That is a giant canvas, it was hard to maneuver safely. Which is to say that I didn't. It was so bad. This is why children should be allowed to play with fire, so that as adults they don't spill wax down themselves while holding a cloth board with one hand and their knees.
**You mix the detergent with water and brush it on, then sort of drip diluted acrylic on it.
