A Museum Of Figurative Works Of Art

The culmination of “301” adds one measure of power to the famed
three hundred Spartan warriors drama.

The male nude, the unashamed naked boldness of
the figurative form led the path
in an intentional chronology of drawing and painting.

Mercy Killing
(gooseflesh 500,000 times)

[7’ x 16’]     Watercolor, graphite, gold leaf paint, mixed media collage

Mercy Killing is the final skin the snake has shed. An exhibition of wrestling warriors, a fierce struggle amongst opponents of desire, a savior to a potential victim, a fragmented power retained by lust or passion… thusly we begin to discover the terms of endearment.

A portrait of the perplexing union as if a cloud and a star were attempting to find synergy in the attitude that is conjured up with black magic by patrons that oversee the cauldron of gooseflesh. It is the very flesh that need be melted and mended together to save the martyr from his self-imposed doom, sanctioned by a horde of ripped pieces of skin, 500,000 scratches of surface goose flesh rip open the very surface of the sky with deep scares across its face.

Erotica might not be the deposition for this portrayal of devotion.
