I create from instinct. My work comes from raw, immediate moments — the kind you feel before you can explain. I don’t approach the canvas with reverence; I go at it directly, letting the line decide its own weight. That’s where the truth is for me. My early years — aka the Cancel Culture period.

The Bull.

My process is simple: raw gesture first, meaning after. The canvas gets manhandled. The message shows up in the lines. And I let the viewer meet the work the same way I created it — directly, without polite introductions.Take a look! 📌 pin.it/1kJIAD2LA

I’m a Canadian artist working in RAW, instinct-driven figuration. The early sketches & cancel-culture years formed the base of my style—lines with weight and intention. Brutalist Figuration grew out of that period and still pushes the work forward. Vancouver-based, creating an evolving primal voice

Willem de Kooning

@wdekooning.bsky.social

Two Women's Torsos https://www.artic.edu/artworks/83889/

A pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, Willem de Kooning experimented with the human form throughout his career, which reached its apex in the early 1950s with his celebrated Woman series. Two Women’s Torsos was created during an intense campaign in which the artist focused on drawings related to his Woman paintings, which were exhibited together with this and other drawings at the Sidney Janis Gallery, New York, in 1953.
De Kooning’s drawings are admired for their number and variety as well as for the artist’s expressive technique, exemplified here by his gestural use of pastel in concert with charcoal. This drawing’s velvety texture and almost violently animated surface are characteristic of the approximately one hundred sheets that remain from his intense work on the woman theme in 1952 and 1953. Also typical of de Kooning’s art is the way in which Two Women’s Torsos references aspects of related paintings but stands alone as an independent work. As the artist tried to jettison traditional modes of composition, he used drawing as a primary vehicle for the sequential development of his most important early body of work.

The Boogens: 2019. This piece was inspired by a childhood story about "The Boogens". Monsters that live under the bed, snatching children - all silently in the nite. #religion #Jewish #Christianity
