The Itinerant Nature of "Concept and Reaction"

Kemore Square, Harvard Square, Brighton Center, Newbury Street, look out Boston we're gonna paint you!

One of my coolest goals in conjunction with having a studio in Boston was to be able to foray out on my bicycle and create oil paintings all over the city. Bicycling is important because hauling my car around town is difficult, costly, and in many cases, very time sensitive (two hours to be specific). Public transportation is great but, when you're done, try bringing a wet oil painting on a crowded Orange Line Train. Commuters don't appreciate these brightly colored spots on their clothes that only can be removed (if you're lucky) with turpentine.

This video clip (starts) to pontificate about the peripatetic nature of the production phase of the upcoming painting exhibit in Boston entitled "Concept and Reaction" in that Marc and myself are bicycle nomads in the city creating the body of work.


Unfortunately the video was interrupted by the inevitable flow of commerce inherent in any artistic activity commensurate with sophisticated marketing techniques and disciplined, inspired content.
