Original artwork description:
The expressive, captivating movements of a beautiful, yet troubled exotic dancer named Chris are described symbolically in this roughly textured oil paint setting. The obliterated representation of her facial features suggests her medicinally induced separation of body and mind. While she performs, the television in the corner is broadcasting a New York Mets baseball game in which pitcher Tom Glavin is in the process of winning his 300th game; certainly a hall of fame achievement, but no one is paying attention while Chris has the stage and is drawing the male gaze with her sensuous moves.
Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
