A painting created through free improvisation. Action painting with music by Caroline Shaw.
How wonderful it would have been if humans who painted in caves 20,000 years ago had written us a letter explaining their motivations, their vision of life, their relationship with Nature.
We are only animals, yet we speak with the Gods. We hunt and paint. We farm and pray. We are insignificant and gigantic at the same time. Simple and magical. We are nothing, or perhaps the only thing.
We, who are Nature but have become something else.
Gestural, intuitive painting that lets things happen and relies on what emerges. Taking advantage of the unexpected and accepting the consequences.
The unknown, that which slips through our fingers... Nature, antiquity, the earthly and the spiritual.
The need to tell stories, to leave a mark, to understand the world, which is always both modern and ancient.
Nothing matters much... Working with a lost look in my eyes...
