Original artwork description:
In following the movement through the compressed channels of paint in this striated composition, the eye elicits in the viewer the sensation of squeezing through a crawl space, in this case one lush and pleasant, and non-threatening. The elongated animal-like face and body, moving in left profile at the top left of the painting, acutely and playfully brings this sensation home, recalling to mind (though quite possibly subliminally) the physiology and motion of the sex act itself.
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.
