2002 - Present “Paintingman” This series is made of 22”X30” and similar panels
that can be arranged in any number and combination to suit the architectural
needs of site and installation design. They combine all my interest in concept,
sculpture, grids, composition and painterlyness. They reference my older work
dating back to college. They are on manufactured 1¼” canvas panels and are
painted with acrylic, oils, spray, glitter and anything else to create texture
and gesture.

Berggruen Gallery but burnt up in the Oakland fire.
