For me a painting is a portal into myself, a way to see and feel something in myself I haven’t experienced before. I remember the first time I saw a work by Dali in an encyclopedia when I was 14 or 15 years old. Incredible strangeness and familiarity. I never saw anything like it. It hit me in the gut somewhere. —– Temporary Triptych-The Encounter 2018 oil on canvas 80cm x 60cm each. —– #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #painting #pittura #dipinto #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #modernart #arte #artecontemporaneo #artecontemporanea #arteitaliana #artcontemporain #kunst #hamont #canadianart #torontoart #instaart #triptych #arthistory #landscapepainting #mothernature #oldmasters #mythology #forest #nature #goddess
This painting is based on a work by Titian-Diana and Actaeon. The man is taken directly from his painting and the woman is from a work by Corot. As I painted the dog I thought about Keith Haring’s dog. Indirectly this work is influenced by Van Gogh, the quattrocento, and Picasso to name a few.——— The Encounter 2018 oil on canvas 80cm x 60cm.——- #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #painting #painter #pittura #dipinto #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #modernart #artecontemporaneo #artecontemporanea #arteitaliana #arte #artcontemporain #kunst #canadianart #torontoart #hamont #arthistory #landscape #mythology #actaeon #encounter #revelation #portrait #nude #titian #corot
