The Split Face is a continuing theme across my works of expressive figuration.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the expressive use of color contrast, I layer a variety of media to give texture contrast, combining flat matte, iridescent sparkle, and the \"crumble\" of oil stick and Conté. I want you to examine the painting's surface closely - I'm glad when I see viewers' noses almost up to the painting!\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe City premiered at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center, February 17th - March 14th, 2026, as part of Magnum Opus 2026.
