well arty guy
they ain't nada farty about this one
this one is interesting to me because it conjures up another solid image-construct in the midst of a coloUr field-scheme
oh sure it's summer and all Canadians are outside
as were the Wisconsinites a fortnight ago
marvelous northern light summers
so of course you are into summer wheat
which i believe is really west of you like in Manitoba and Sasketchewan
and Albertina
and so the hay barn, or grain elevator or whatever it is
i seen buildings like that in western minnesota
eery tall skyscrapers rising up from a flat plain of
country wheat my oh my
the playfullness of primary coloUrs
and textural symbolism
captures an essential spirit
but the large form, placed in a golden mean-like composition
reminds me of other solid forms you have used in the past
or assertive strokes into a coloUr-field
i feel like you are both challenging compositional limits
and also somehow evoking archetypal images
some from western entities and others
more indigenous and even jungian subconscious and
perennial
nice going
absolutely the work of a practised painter
coming thru

congrats kurt
the ontario college of art president's office
wow!!!!!
i once had a drawing of mine from an art class
placed in the hallway at the art school of wayne state university in detroit
it was up there for several weeks
i had taken my military duffel bag and wrapped it around a globe of earth
with a shot glass in front with a flower
i was standing there absorbing the re-cognition of effort
and heard this art teacher, printmaker of subrban backyard scenes,
say inside the office,
"there will always be wars,"
and went away deflated again alienated and alone
winter of 1978
guess my charcoal drawing did not communicate anything beyond
wonder at the innocence lost i guess
anyhow the drawing was lost due to my ongoing vagabonding wandering
probably landed in a dump somewhere
in a box i had all my early artworks stored in
when i freaked out in NYC in 1982
and went to louisiana and my uncle to
repair my damaged nerves
two years later had an art show at the opening of the first vet center there
october 1984
i am healed a whole bunch
and your art life makes me very happy
yes it does
don't hold back man
you are there
do it
