I am a Gentle Giant

Acrylic on canvas.

30x48x1.50"

part of the Gentle Giants series

artist’s note:

The 1.5” depth of each piece is exhibited and sold in raw form (drips and distinct paint markings are usually very prevelant).
It is very important to me that these paintings be seen in all their realness, that their perfection be realized in their imperfection. They represent the durability that they have worked so hard to earn.

If my collectors choose to frame my work, this is different for me. For some reason, this does not offend me. In the painting's exhibition state, I feel as though it has made its statement. I believe in order for a collector to purchase, the painting was initially appreciated in all its bare rawness and this is the way they will continued to be recognized.
