Abstract vs Narrative in black and white.
This time of year, (my favorite) I try to relax and paint/draw in a manner that indulges my senses. I suppose I also work against this inclination at the same time.
This synthesis of sensual and rigorous sometimes leads me to a paradoxical solution for personal art-making; i.e. A black and white piece stripped of all content or a b&w piece loaded with sentimental content.
This approach of following contradictory impulses has worked for me at times.
There truly are no rules in art making.
Don't listen to the voices of conservatism and repression.
See you next week, john.
