Playing Diamonds 2023-2024, oil on linen,19 x 19 inches |
The theme of card games has been a recurring narrative in my work for many years. I enjoy the subject and the psychological elements it offers, but - more important to me - on the abstract level the theme also provides many compositional opportunities such as in the arrangement of hands or the play of color notes in the cards.
Here are two of my large paintings that were composed around the narrative of gamblers playing blackjack:

Twenty-One 1983 - 1984, oil on line, 32 x 70 inches Private collection |
and twenty-eight years later:

In other news, I will be having a solo exhibition of paintings at the Clark Gallery in Lincoln, Massachusetts: 30 April to 8 June.
