The ongoing "Chance Meeting Series" and Chance Meeting #2:

My original concept of a grand reunion (that I originally perceived) has had been tested. Many other takeaway's have been derived since the first, both by myself and art patrons. One of the many varying representations I am getting on these works (as discussed prior) is of a growing "disassociation" among people within the world. I have written on this topic in prior newsletters, - but here is a quick review for those unfamiliar: 

"These paintings can also be revealed as two non-communicating figures in close proximity to each other. The figures are standing right next to each other but NOT really interacting. Seen on this level, these paintings can speak on the worlds apparent growing level of interpersonal separation. Directly or indirectly, this analogy is relating then to our new and modern world  of what we now call friendships. Those being the frenzy of new friendships driven through social media. Many cultural and sociological professionals believe this to be the creation of a new "false closeness" and with it an apparent loss of true and real tangible friendships."

So, interestingly, - the perceived delivery of these paintings varies greatly from viewer to viewer. In all honesty, I love this as this is my goal. My greatest joy and desire for creation in art comes from building "High" or "Thinking" art.
