'Precarius' is the title given to an ongoing series of paintings started very recently, October 2010.
In all of them one piece of stretched, painted canvas wraps the inner wood frame- 9 inches thick, front, sides, and back giving the painting a block-like, massive presence. It always thrills me to create paintings that possess a prepotent sculptural character. Precarius 11 appears dangling off balance away from the wall, and Precarius 13 is caught at the point in time when it is cracking into two separate pieces, the smaller one already starting its unstoppable fall to the ground.
