Multipanel Collage: Keep Your Hands On The Wheel

This collage was created earlier this year its 111/2 feet long and 5 feet high.
I have not posted new work for most of this year so I am catching up. This is the largest multipanel collage I have made to date. It is now in Fresh Paint Gallery in Culver City.

Crushed Autobody Parts Assembled: "Bumper to Bumper"

Welded crushed auto parts and paper make up Bumper to Bumper. The piece is 36h x 105w. Gluing the paper on irregular surfaces that are metal was a little challenging. The use of paper is different than the a panel collage because I felt there was a need to still have the metal have a presence. The color of the metal was a guide for the color choices of the paper. It was fun to have a new set of forms that were a little less rigid in their geometry.

Multi Panel Elongated: "Accelerant"

A departure from the format I have been using for the multi panel pieces. These panels are much longer a less tall. This presented a new set of issues to resolve. There had to be a balance between the background imagery and the color streaks. I wanted to make sure the streaks did not overwhelm the background. "Accelerant" has a real feeling of slices of movement and that's what I hoped for.

Paper And Paint: "Blew By You", " Red Means Go...Faster", and "Freakin' Kwik".

After a hand full of multi panel pieces and all their seemingly millions of small pieces of paper. It was time to take a break and get out some paint. These three pieces were fun and fast compared to the paper. The challenge was to have the paper still have resonance against the flatness of the paint. The compositions were driven by forms that collide as if you were seeing the physical edit between to different frames of movement. Sort of a collision. These collage/paintings are on exhibit a Gebert Gallery,Venice. In order "Blew By You", "Red Means Go...Faster",and "Freakin' Kwik".

Multi Panel Collage: Screaming With The Windows Up

This collage took four months. It is one of the most ambitious pieces I have done. It was a grind. I am happy with it and happy its done so I can move on to new work. Hope you enjoy it.
