“Blue Nude” Contemporary Figurative Blue and White Ink Drawing.

Details Details Close Description This series focuses on the idea of play and the emotions involved in the act of playing. We often forget the importance of relaxing the mind, of letting go of our troubles, of being in a state of joy. In these paintings, I try to capture the sensation of carefreeness I had as a child simply playing. My use of color, shape, design, and texture all contribute to the painting’s ability to convey that sensation. My intent in creating these paintings is to move the viewer to feel a spark of play. For the last handful of years, the pandemic and the political divide in this country have guided my work in a specific direction. The atmosphere around me seeps into my work, and I welcome that. While my work is not about those things, the energy and emotion are borrowed from them. Now that we have begun to emerge, I welcome the renewed vitality that surrounds me. And from that spark, I created the Play series. The series consists of eighteen pieces of which one is currently on view at the New Jersey State Museum. This oil on paper piece is 10 x 8 vertical.
