"Inner Landscape II" is a "Metaphysical" work of art. The intent (and title) of this series is designed to help direct the viewer to the infinite and wildly varying mood-images oriented within the framework of one singular human mind and life. 

Within each human being, lies a vast and private array of "Internal Landscapes." 

Our accumulation of individual experiences and life history will depict infinite images for us, if we take the time to look inside and view them, Our current and "in the moment" state of mind, may very well depict an entirely different set of images for us. Our feeling about our future goals, dreams, and aspirations...will often lead us to yet another and completely new and different set of internal visual landscapes.  

All of these, wrapped up in one neat (or not so neat..) package, - the mind. 

This series is designed to conjure and deliver these images and feelings. When each of these paintings are built, I will take myself to "One Specific Moment" in time, either from the past, the current, or from my projected future.

Given that, they should all then reflect directly on the "Inner Landscape Image"  I have in my mind at the moment. 

Today's work, "inner Landscape II" was created exactly in this fashion. It depicts a specific moment "in my history" and the feelings that directly surrounded that moment. It is not going to be my place today (or in this newsletter) to delve into the specific moment of experience that "is" this painting. Given that, you're welcome to inquire on it if you wish.  

"Abstract Expressive Art," is all about representing these types of experiences and the feelings that go hand-in-hand with them. Whether or not Jackson Pollack knew it or not, each painting he made for us was a piece of him, a snapshot of his inner-self for all to see. Whether that be from his past, his current, or his projected, - life.  

The Metaphysical Artist and The Modernist Painter

As an artist, I am completely devoted to continuing the essential mission of the Modern Art Theories of the early 1900's. I have studied the Paris movements of early 1920's (Montmartre & Montparnasse), and as well the German Modernists (The Bauhaus), for over 35 years now.

Given that, it will never be enough. I plan on continuing to study these periods and as well intend to grow and expand the work of the great Modernist Art movement for the rest of my life.
