full of contradictions and conversations
by Rex Deverell (not verified) on Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:37 PM CSTHeard you on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation this afternoon - so had to go to your site. The paintings are quite powerful - full of contradictions and conversations - inter cultural - intra sexual - so congratulations.
Your answer to the questions about what started you off on this exploration caused me to reflect on contrast between an artist's desire to be original or do something out of the ordinary - and the excitement of finding out how the paintings can generate excitement and discovery for both the creator and the view. The first motivation doesn't interest me all that much - and I expect that it creates more problems than it solves.
But your interview was modest and down to earth. I expect that once one knows one's art history it takes a lot to start using it to create new metaphors and dialogue.
All the best.
#19 is most brilliant.

For me, the wittiest reference was "George W Bush" (#14) to Aaron Shikler's:

Femme Fatale series is OK but "Islamic Erotica" was more tantalizing (shallow me :o)

Border Crossing...
by Abol Danesh (not verified) on Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:06 AM CSTBut I must say # 8 is a successful monkey business jumping by transposing and merging and combining and mixing juxstapositioning Mosadegh's and Khomeini's image into one-- But this can happen only in planet moon not on earth...and hopfully there is money in moon so someone could come and buy it ith hard cash...
What is solid metls into air... Karl Marx
