Sunday Preacher Painting

Though the initial viewing of this small, thickly textured network of interlocking paint passages affirms the exuberance and color harmony with which it was constructed, further study reveals an alternate, steamier understanding more closely reflecting the earthy quality of its roughly finished wood panel support. Reading the top and bottom right of the picture plane as cool and neutral negative space leaves the center horizontal portion to fall into place in the form of a gold-hued upward extended erect penis, conjoined testicles falling in place below, with the truncated thighs of its owner spreading as in support to left and right. Once viewed from this place of understanding it's difficult to afterword see it otherwise. The image's title implies with an obviousness of tone, matched harmonically with the "in-your-face" blatant physicality of the image, that a different kind of worship is taking place on this Sunday morning. Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
