A340 Memory one (Flux)


A340 Memory (flux)
36x24" oil on canvas
$800.00

This painting is about how flow (inspiration) works, in and out. A cacophony of information and ideas enters the woman’s head, and a single rivulet of pure vision enters her eye, and pours out. The conversion from chaos to clear flow is the artist’s refining process, thinking and working.
The persistence of all those garbage memories we tend to store away, threatens to overwhelm us. You can see that this lady has managed to refine them into a crystal stream pouring steadily from her eyes.

As I worked my way around the figure, I was thinking about the bottom right corner, which is a geometric pattern, as opposed to the organic shapes of the rest of the painting. I added a very anomalous set of green pyramid forms in the lower right, very strange and somehow wonderful.
