Sogno di Febbre 2025 / GOOD MUD
Added 2025-03-25 13:30:00 +0000 UTCCaption: “Inspired by many of the figures from William Blake‘s illustrations, “recumbent” is the keyword here, “recumbent” meaning on the ground or close to the Earth, weighted down by gravity.
Many of my female figures in the show this upcoming show at Half Gallery entitled GOOD MUD are close to the Earth, almost mountainous forms.
And they are paired with the canine in many cases, the canine in various poses, the canine in various colors, the canine being a companion, almost as if she is Diana on the hunt.
In this work “Fever Dream” these orange red hunting dogs represent something more psychological, maybe a nightmare, or some kind of primal truth that we fear.
The colors that dominate the paintings in good mud are yellow, green, and a kind of red orange hybrid. Being that color is so psychological these varying hues are meant for the viewer to be introspective about what is going on in the picture.
Green is a dominant color on my palette, sometimes neon green, sometimes Viridian sometimes Thyalo Green Lake, green has a way of representing life and renewal in a painting, yellow is also dominant, it provides a charge of life and a vibrancy that comes from our living Sun and then Red which represents passion and desire.”
