About The Artwork

"Milonga", acrylic and collage on canvas, 16 x 20 inches, (40 x 50cm). A milonga is a dance, cousin to the tango, native to Buenos Aires and Montevideo, characterized by fluid, passionate movement and rhythms. I've tried to suggest this mood by the use of contrasting motifs of geometric grid-based collage and flowing, lyrical organic shapes. The colors are generally warm, with an underpainting of yellows and oranges overlaid with collaged elements in greens, blues and cream, while the lyrical elements are drawn in white and pale gray, filled with red, orange and yellow. The relationship between the visual imagery and music owes much to the work of Paul Klee and Vassily Kandinsky. This painting was executed on a deep, gallery-wrapped canvas, and requires no framing, and is ready to hang. It is signed and dated on the front, and also signed, titled, and dated on the back.

Born in Montgomery, Alabama, and raised in the rural Appalachian foothills of the northeastern part of the state, my childhood was surrounded by the natural world, the rigid social and cultural traditions of the deep South, the distant rumblings of 1960's social changes, and the panoramas of human existence revealed to me through reading, music and art. Most of my adult life has been spent working as a graphic designer in Birmingham, South Florida, and Dallas -- primarily in the television industry -- where I was immersed yet another hybrid universe, a fun-house world of ego, transitory celebrity, and social manipulation. These days I live and work in a cabin on the edge of the Ozark National Forest in northwest Arkansas, decompressing.
