Oil Paintings
These pieces were done while living in New York and reflect a long fascination with pop and commercial design - especially that of packaging. They are influenced by ice cream stickers, labels on cans in Chinese groceries,running shoes, candy design, and all kinds of diagrams, photos, and meals. But not just pop undergirds this work for me; Manet, Velazquez, Caravaggio and lots of other "classical" painters went into the blender to make these paintings.
