The Distorted Square is complete!

So, a brand new year! But really, does it feel like it to you? We have already had restrictions and a curfew re-imposed on us here in Québec. Ugh. That coupled with a very strange Winter that alternates between -30 and +3 degrees. That’s a double ugh indeed!

I am yet again rambling on about rubbish when there’s news to announce; my Distorted series collective square of paintings is now complete! In the last few days I completed Distorted X, XI and XII, or using their titles, ‘2022’, ‘Forgiven’ and ‘Suitable’. These three creations – all based on their given names – are ramped up a notch in colour palette

And below is the final collection on nine paintings that make the collective square! I’m really happy with the results, which is a relief as they were many months in the making. These 9 paintings together make an awesome, eye-catching 6.5′ x 6.5′ art installation. You can also jumble them up into any order you like; even turn them around in any direction you want if you don’t want to see my signature!

I don’t think I’ll be creating any more Distorted this year. But, I still have my eye on creating the long-gone ‘Prozac’ painting from 1996. That would be fun indeed…..!
