1. (Untitled) 2. Work in Progress: "Eraserhead Chillin with His Baby." (From "Eraserhead" by David Lynch)
1. I spend a lot of time sketching faces in abstract ways. By abstract ways, I mean learning from cubists. I probably make about 100 sketches of various people until I actually find one I like. I've only made a handful attempts at painting these cubist faces but this is probably the one I like the most.
The majority of the time my sketches just don't do it. It's challenging for me to think of forms like this. It used to be much more mind boggling to me of moving eyes and noses and mouths and other body parts around. But more importantly, doing it in a way that looks pleasing.
2. It's really interesting to look at the work of Francis Bacon and David Lynch together. It becomes very clear how Lynch was inspired by Bacon's paintings. I don't necessarily have proof and
Quite amazing how Lynch was able to find a way to tell stories around Bacon's work. From the reference of Bacon's Beast as Lynch's Eraserhead baby to the overall art direction of many of his shots.
This painting is an effort to tie the two together featuring a moment between the child and father from "Eraserhead."
Still working my way around navigating the geometry and clean edge work of Bacon but I decided to reduce the size of the room to a very claustrophobic "cube" almost as if they're on a stage while the actor performs as well.
