Moosebow Alley (2003)Oil painting
by Don Keene
£818.06
Original artwork description
A roughly rendered mass of organic forms vie for attention and shift in importance in this painterly, chromatically neutral montage. One slapdash vaguely bovine-shaped head in right profile, formed with a quick stroke of black paint on the grey-green ground, hanging attached to a white upper body and extending in from the left edge of the panel, hazily conjures the image of a moose coursing its way through a verdant imaginative alleyway.
The rustic, imperfect application of nails, primer and wood filler on the surface and edges are intentional qualities meant to keep in concert with the informal tone inherent in art made on discarded "found wood," one that seemed appropriate for the casual, informal feel of this piece.
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.
