nice works George. You show some depth. Look , I might come across as an show man, which I am...being famous and all that, but my 'feeling' about your art is that you are walking a tightrope of getting a bit involved with your 'mind' and that of minnimalism. Please dont get me wrong...this is an intuition of your works. Take it or leave it. An artist can have any amount of degrees or masters...(even I have a double doctrate) and many years of experience, but good art resides in the language of application and not in technique. So you are on a meaningful footing here, but, you are also trying to be original and that wont work...not if you care about Art.

For sales and Pop art, it works great...but in my opinion, Pop is dead and a lot of people prefer the smell of death these days even pay big bucks for it...and why not, rotting flesh is what keeps the wars going and rotting art is sustained by that. The rich guys, the german banks , the motorcar insurance companies and oil and pharmacuiticals who make collections of art....these reflect rotting art.

You walk the tight rope, George....what is your next step...the unknown or the known?

that's perfect...not being sure what your next step will be. I mean, How do we know what our next thought will be until we're thinking it? Same same. That's from where great art is born. William Turner could capture a sunset in Venice with a few strokes, there was definately no time to think about it..
