“The essential problem in painting is to place the figure in space.” Francis Bacon
Over the course of my life as a painter I have wrestled with Bacon’s description of the painter’s challenge and proceed with each painting as if it is an early rehearsal for the some future more developed painting. In the early years, I worked as a figurative painter --often from life-- because human sight is stereoscopic while the photographic lens is monoscopic. In abstract painting, I have attacked a shallow field of painted space and explored the psychic weave of paint forms crashing against each other.
