Senior Thesis 1-UPs

Heres new shots of my senior thesis paintings. Thanks again to Dan for the nice photographs of the work

A few comments that these paintings have received go something like…

These abstract painting “moves” (the individual elements) remind me of old atari video games – ie. your are a little square, or a few pixels that resemble the outline of a human form. You move through a world of mundane pixelated images, yet your imagination turns those 2 dimensional green blobs into ferocious alligators. I think the person was trying to say that each element seemed like a wonderful facilitator for imagination and movement. Good. Another comment was that there were so many different elements all individual elements became meaningless in this giant mess. Sweet.

Here they are – They used to have fun titles, but I have misplaced the old cards and forgotten them… so for now, the only title I can remember is…

“Empathy is Most Comfortable Pair of Underwear.” (All paintings are 4′x2′, acrylic on mdf board) each individual painting is a link to itself, its not only one big image.

  1. this seems very intuitive.. and also meditative, reminds of a book i once saw of Carl jung’s patients drawing out motifs, good stuff. i might even say, quite deep. I just finished my hands project, minus a few touches:)

  2. those are intense all together, i like how you can zoom on the individual image when you click on them. i’ve said many things about these already, so you know that.
