Description:
Painting of hunched man in a hat, sitting in a yellow directors-style chair, perhaps directing the “action” to a film scene. Artist' statement. ‘Painting from memory is a way of exploring how the mind works. Images are formed from fleeting daily impressions, thoughts and ideas translated from the literal or musical into the visual. The restrictions of the medium are very little (…). “Director” is part of a series about the making of an imaginary film. I turned my studio in college into a film-studio of paintings. I was the producer, director, gaffer, main actor and able to cast whomever I liked.’
