Tabling Halloween Pangs (oil) 1983

This is an example of my Nuclear Pollackesque Period from around 1983. I combined oil, acrylic, cloth sculpture, and found objects in this painting. (If you look carefully, you can spot a toothbrush.) This work was inspired by Dali’s painting Tuna Catch, which in turn was inspired by the works of Spanish Symbolist painter, Nestor.

Untitled watercolor (based on still-life) 1983

This work, inspired by Klee and Dubuffet, is called Lab Animals on Vacation (1983), and was created by using wax and oil over a textured surface of acrylic and modeling paste.
