Original artwork description:
Snapshots of human elements (a face, portions of bodies) randomly show through in abbreviated snippets among the larger, more colorful, abstract passages in this roughly textured collage and oil paint landscape of the mind. When working on the piece I was conscious of, though in this case not wholly influenced by, the work of R.B. Kitaj; thus the title, a play on the concept of only marginally "stealing" his work.
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.
