Featured is a painting from the title Outbursts, "Men Prohibited from Speaking" and "Man with Sealed Lips." The works relate to an individuals desire to escape. In this case the escape is from the self from a prevaling social order. The paint inside the canvas reflects the trepedation and freedom one would experience when posed with this question. I enjoy how the painting is an abstract representation of this struggle, the physical movement put down on canvas to display the mapping one's mind would take when questioning this type of event.
I love the rest of his painting series that include names such as: Love, After Ivan, Men without Head, Carving out on Identity, Disasters and Emotions. The titles themselves are fueled with a subject matter that included the same techniques.
