SGRAFFITI Original on canvas 		No. CW07-2
  
 
Pop Modern

I work in acrylics on canvas employing a technique mostly seen in Grecian pottery called sgraffiti. This entails painting or glazing over a darker ground a lighter ground and then exposing the darker ground through the act of scratching or drawing into the surface. This creates a highly graphic line that is the armature of the rest of the picture.

I am obsessed with linking the world of pop culture to the academic world. It is in the tension between the bright world of the painting’s surface and the larger underlying mechanisms of narrative that keeps me painting at a time when many say painting is dead. I believe that is just an idea for those that forgot that imagination creates endless possibilities.
