I’ve been doing a lot of painting over the past year, yet not showing it publicly. Yes, I throw them up on Instagram as I finish them, but the scrolling pace of social media is not at all suited for absorbing artwork.
This body of work is deeply personal, and I do imagine folks spending time with it in an ideal world. I invite everyone to come to Rice Polak Gallery - run by the amazing Marla Rice - and spend some time with the paintings. They’ll bring their own baggage to the experience, and that’s great.
Rather than struggling to express what the work means, I’ll let the magnificent Abe Storer tell you about it, in this profile from this week’s Provincetown Independent.
If you’re in Provincetown, come on by and check it out. Cheers.
