108 Repetitions

Here is a peek into some of the 108 Repetitions Paintings I have been working on. Still discovering what and why the act of repeating images over and over is bringing to my practice as an artist and as a human being. However, it has been quite a journey and I look forward to sharing it with you in more detail soon. Hope you like what you see so far!

108 Repetitions

My good friend Manuel brought his work into my studio this week. We spent a few hours together working on our paintings. I have long been a fan of his work! I truly respect him as an artist and as a person. The pictures I have attached to this blog will give you a small look into his process. He painted on the floor of my studio. These particular paintings are seen to me as sculptural landscapes. I was lucky enough to pick three for my birthday. I find his work and process to be deep and very thought out. I have a collection of his work! I invite you to visit his work at http://manuelangeja.com/ and begin your own collection as well!

I will be away from the studio for a few days. I will be in Maryland visiting my partner’s family. Until then do something fun and play!

108 Repetitions

It is said that the origin of suffering is attachment. When I think about “attachment” and my process as a painter, I realized that I am constantly practicing non-attachment. I have been asked by many people, ” why would I want to paint over a painting that is beautiful or close to being done”? My response is … why not? My paintings have many layers and each layer underneath the final image is part of a conversation that was not finished. I don’t know any other way to paint. I have always created this way. There have been a few times in my life when I have completed a painting with the first attempt…but that is very rare.
For example today, I began painting a Buddha on top of a beautiful abstract painting that I finished last week. I ended up covering him up with white paint. It would have been a beautiful painting, but something inside my mind and heart told me that I needed to let it go. What the outcome will be is yet to be known. However, after I finished painting over the work that took me about six hours I decided to clean my studio and I am looking forward to spending tomorrow working on some smaller paintings. I need a break from the big canvas. I actually think I am becoming fond of painting on the smaller scale. Funny how things work out. Just thought I share with you my process thus far and thanks for stopping bye to see what I have been up too!
