I am absolutely loving, loving, loving the SF Bay Area painters right now. These works are just great. I love knowing that they were abstract expressionists and began reincorporating imagery into their works. It makes them very emotive but there is a wonderful subtlety in color and formal composition- its all just working so well. The more I look at them, the more I see their influence on contemporary painters.
I was watching a youtube visit by James Kalm (which is a great resource where he goes to all the openings in Chelsea and reports on them) to a Maureen Cavanaugh show and he was commenting on 'chick art' that is emotive and painterly and I felt a connection there (can't put many words to it yet).
These artists also seem to have a common thread with the works I put up earlier from Humphrey Ocean and Chantal Joffe. I particularly like the works by SF painters of women, kids, relationships. So I am starting to see where my work is coming from or where I want it to come from...If I could just put all this together and produce a thousand paintings synthesizing all this I would be done painting and move on to something else...oh well at least I have an idea of what I am trying to do.
