The painting Mountain Man is so good--so real--that it's scary. It reminded me of that Ronnie Wood lyric, "I'm lost and I'm lonely./Lookin' hard for your love." Actually, the whole show made me think of the song. That, and Nietzche's assertion that "progress is an illusion." Yep. It's that kinda throwdown. Everything's on fire.

Exu. You're welcome. I noticed that too. What is UP with that?
Great great great. Epic and complex and wondrous. HAA you did, you brought it to life with the pictures. This show is sprawling like a novel.
HAA! Thanks for the close up shots. As MM said, the painting is epic and it is so hard to take in with just one or two visits. You chose some incredible close ups. And I happen to love the small ones--so lucious and funny. Especially the MM painting.
Yep. You're all right. It's a lot. When I looked back at that next to last one with the patches of blank canvas and the ear it made me think of Bonnard, Van Gogh, Basquiat, and Rene Ricard's "The Radiant Child." I mean, that's only two items in a patch of the painting. Crazy.
