Thirteen paintings. Mixed media, oil and acrylic on large prepared surfaces. The figures are rendered with restraint and control, built through layers, each surface holding the history of decisions made across it. The work sits inside a formal tradition that takes figuration seriously. The painted body here is not illustrative. It carries its own weight and resists easy resolution.

The paintings operate on accumulated structure. The figure arrives, is questioned, is partially dissolved, is allowed to consolidate. What the series achieved is a body of work that holds its ground: composed, intentional, historically aware of where it stands in the lineage of figurative painting. The surfaces are dense. The figures persist.

The studio was an unheated concrete room on the Provincetown waterfront. No windows. No insulation. Winter 2025 into 2026. Paint thickened in the cold. Canvas shifted with temperature. These were the working conditions and they are visible in the material. That is the context. The paintings are the thing.
