Description

The Birth of Venus - acrylic on canvas; 16x20”; This new painting fuses today's modern infatuation with i-devices to Botticelli's "Birth of Venus", a paean to the goddess of love. I find Botticelli's Venus to be one of art's most graceful female figures - my Venus is still graceful, but chubby. Shimmering apps cascade around the descending Putti. This acrylic painting is mounted on nice heavy duty stretchers, which gives it a substantial feel on the wall. The painting wraps around the sides so it needs no frame.

Concept

My paintings are often gently humorous or ironic. Some poke fun at our fixation on consumption and prosperity, while others focus on the intrusion of technology in our lives. Some of my paintings have been exhibited at Marin-Price Gallery in Chevy Chase, MD.

I always begin with sketches. Sometimes I use source material, photos I take or objects in the studio, but most often I draw entirely out of my imagination. I focus on the composition and color, and try not to think too much about the meaning of the painting, which makes itself clear eventually.

Artists who inspire me: Grant Wood; George Tooker; Richard Deibenkorn; Wayne Thiebault.

What kind of hardware should I use for hanging the artwork?

If you are concerned about repayment costs, such as when renting a house, wall pins and hooks that do not leave noticeable hole marks are available at major DIY Store and art supply stores.

If you want to hang a canvas with a hook, a hook type with a long hooking surface, such as a V-shaped type is recommended.

If there is a string on the back of the canvas or the back of the frame, you can hang it with a pin type that has a short hooking surface.
