Staging (Stag) Anew /  by Tim Lane

Staging (Stag), 2018, is a painting which has always bothered me. I’ve always felt that the penciled-in image of the deer fit in with the aesthetic and theme of the painting, but might be too subtle for most viewers to appreciate. I finally went back in with ink. I had to know. The result is the second image below. The discrepancy in the pink color of the painting is due to the top image being shot in overcast conditions while the bottom image was shot in direct sunlight. I’m not sure what I think, now. The deer stands out.

This painting was made entirely with Shiva oil paintsticks. That’s a first for me, even though I’ve been using oil paintsticks for 20 years.

If Everything We’re Hearing Is to Be Believed, 2023

The Statue of Liberty Series (circa 2000-2003) /  by Tim Lane

On the Fourth of July, I can’t help thinking about some of my earliest work (circa 2000-2003). I was thinking about the Gulf War, and the Iraq War. I felt a negative energy in the air during the prolonged Gulf War and the events that led to the Iraq War. There was a fear that George W. Bush would push for an invasion of Iraq to deflect Americans from focusing on our ills at home, among other reasons.

 

Object or Echo, a New Painting /  by Tim Lane

The trip to Paris has been inspiring. I have returned home with a desire to write and paint and read. Now, if I can incorporate some exercise, then I will have more balance. This new painting is on yupo paper. The image of the astronaut from my latest series cropped and pushed forward at us has been in my mind for a while, now. Finally, it’s on paper. Yupo paper is exciting because it lends itself to an expressionistic look and feel. You can’t totally control the paint on the slick surface; you get some nice unexpected results. The flow of the paint is fun to explore.

Marc Chagall at the Pompidou /  by Tim Lane

My wife and I just spent ten days in Paris. It was our first international trip together. We took in a lot of the sights. The Pompidou was high on our list. There was some amazing art at the Centre Pompidou, but for me the highlight was the Chagall room. Five large paintings, four of which blew me away. I have loved Chagall’s work for some time, so it was exciting to see these paintings.

Chagall’s sense of color has always appealed to me. And there is usually quite a bit to look at in his paintings. The central images are curvy and slightly elongated, often floating within or above the scene, which creates a style that reminds me of folk and outsider art, but is more grounded in the Cubism and Expressionism of the time.

Chagall’s work delights my heart and eye.

get·in·for·ma·shun, 2023 /  by Tim Lane

2023 has been inspiring. New materials, new methods, new discoveries. I hope you enjoy the galleries and everything else yoursilentface has to offer. After feeling the need to bid winter goodbye with a bold fluorescent palette from my inner landscape, I have tamed it down a bit in the service of this latest painting: get·in·for·ma·shun, 2023, 30”x22” on paper. The paper is a hearty Stonehenge aqua.
