Horned Dragon Style 20" x 13" Collage
Giclee prints by Bob Swanson $150.
I went to Google to find kanji for the title. Kanji are the characters used in Chinese, Japanese and othere written languages. The kanji is a strong graphic element even without the word meaning being known.
Horned Dragon collage drawing 20x13 $472
Horned Dragon Style
Sprayed me with chi
Sound of wind in conifers
Feel at home here
Horned Dragon Corylis
Leaves me breathless
Once wire is wound
Our chi blended wood with metal
Horned Dragon collage painting 20x13 $628
Juan Gris and Picasso combine with sumi-e in a fantastic blend of frottage, collage, grottage, charcoal, sumi-e ink and oil paint.
Lone Moon drawing 13x20 $548
Abstract Modernism and Asian art have a similarity. Neither relies on traditional Western methods of realism such as perspective and shadows.
Lone Moon 13x20 collage $584
Finding the unifying elements, I like to blend the two.
“On top of cold mountain the lone round moon
Lights the whole clear cloudless sky
Honor this priceless natural treasure
Concealed in five shadows, sunk deep in the flesh.”
By Han-shan from “Cold Mountain” Poems 8-9th Cent.
Solstice 13x21 drawing $704
Inspired by Approaching Puberty by Max Ernst 1921 and conceived Dec 21, 2009 on the Winter Solstice 2009. The drawing version is a value study featuring frottage, spatter, collage and ink drawing.
Solstice 13x21 collage $556
The chi travels throughout the body, regenerating, creative.
Sunset Oak 10x12 oil on board $338
Plein air painted at sunset overlooking the Sacramento River in Redding, Ca
New Work
Moon Over the Zagros Mtns with Clock
These two pieces continue my exploration of surrealism. Definite influence from Max Ernst shows in the moon using textured paint and rubbed glazes as well as the frottage on the collage section representing buildings. The hands of the clock are in the exact position of the Shahab Missile. The clock makes me think of the Doomsday Clock and at the same time Hans Richter, video artist from the 1920's.
Moon Over the Sea at Wright's Bch with Shahaab-3B Missile
Bringing the idea of the missile into closer focus, this composition drops it arbitrarily in an ocean setting with rocks that have fantastic features and missile armature that could be an insect.
