balance

Ok so i'm thinking icaroonus and the child and icarus II seem to be your most successful works so far, i wish i could see them close up to geta real sense of how your paint work is improving, all i can really talk about is the balance of these 2 which is where their strength lies. there is an increasing unification of those ideals you hold dear, the articulation of abstract craftsmanship and context within a figurative whole. i feel this is the wrong way of describing it, don't particularly like the terms abstract and figurative, when really what it is is all those different facets that combine together to create a successful construction, after all we could talk about the brilliantly balanced colour relationships of a titian or goya. i suppose,more than being abstract and figurative, your paintings are responding to photography and modernism and giving this a classical twist. so figures exist within flat spaces, i'm not sure you've fully articulated what this is exactly for yet, and because the images are relatively sparse, realising this is perhaps one of your most important challenges. i'm thinking specifically here of how pshycologically intense fracis bacon's spaces are, i'm also thinking, what the fuck am i looking for? bacon certainly was responding to photography, but also a space that is unmistakingly urban, and an outlook that is equally urban. sharp, mouthy, harsh, stark. what is it you want?
thats about as much as i can muster here, can't bloody concentrate, the tv is always fucking on in this house.
