I have chosen to put select works of art up for adoption . I am looking for a good homes were my work will be well cared for and appreciated. My goal is to help increase and diversify the collectors of my work and a new means for engaging the audience. Any individual or institution may attempt to adopt an artwork. Artwork which is adopted, will be the property of the adopter. However, there conditions regarding the resale of the artwork.
Over the next month I will be accepting adoption applications. There will be a committee made up of members from Team Art! (Chicago) that will review and choose potential adopters then I will make the final decisions. If you are not chosen the first time around, please feel free to apply for further adoptions. If you are chosen for the adoption there is no purchase costs but the adopter is expected to pay any costs associated with delivery of the artwork. I would deliver the work personally and help with the installation to make sure it is going to a good home.
I have chosen DREAM LOVER for my first work to go up for adoption.
This is one of my first successful dream paintings. I feel as though it accurately captures the essence of the woman who inhabits all my dreams, present since pre-pubescence. Her persona is amorphous. She is a confidant, friend, and ever-different but always recognizable lover. She knows and is every woman I have ever loved, so perhaps, the only woman I have ever loved. This painting is my attempt to express her divinity to the realm of the world without dreams. Often, I find her there, standing beside me, her face similar to mine, filled with the glow of every color.
Sono is in the feminine form, Beatrice herself, and I, Virgil. A self-portrait of a kind, an understanding finally grasped after further introspection and analysis. My dreams move me to paint; painting urges me to reflect through the pen. To write about such things is to lose ones self in the silence of exploring the mind, exploring what it means to be a human being living somewhere within the expansive range of self and humanity. This sequence of events illustrates the importance of the process of self-analysis, also teaching us that knowledge is boundless.
