Waterworld - Tiki gods... going tribal!

This week, after having seen an impressive work from Kahlhamer at the Montreal museum of fine arts (Once upon a time, the western), I decided to dig up an old bed sheet and proceed with acrylic inks...


I need to bone up on application tools, but the results were good enough to pursue a stream of this type of work.

Note to self: I realize that preceding works were just meant to test ground on the level I have attained so far in figuration with traditional methods. My heart is on the side of visceral contemporary art...

Duck-diving with Kauhuhu in Molokai... a painting that may open another door!

Over the last few weeks, I have worked on another painting to add to my waterworld collection...


Although this painting does not totally meet my expectations, reflections from its surface remind me that the partly deconstructed figure is really where I want to go. At the same time, incorporating line drawings in my figuration is becoming an obsession.
