Liza and Louise acrylic and screws on wood 10x12 offered at Artspace auction; starting bid: $50 SOLD
Pushing this technique a little further and going for two flannel shirts-type look in both texture and pattern. The title is taken from a NOFX song about two lesbians - sort of an anthem from my teenage punk/skaterat days. This one was built up in many layers. Since the colors are mixed optically and the surface is not flat, there isn't really a steady hold, if you will, for the eye to rest. And as you get closer to the painting, like much artwork done in a similar way (Seurat and other pointilists, Chuck Close, etc.) the image disintegrates into a bunch of bits.
This one and a couple more made in the same vein will be hung at an auction show next month at Artspace. I'll add some more details about the show here later.
