The show continues. At MorYork, the storied Wunderkammer created by Clare Graham. Within MorYork I've installed my own cabinet of curiosity which are works from series titled: Eyes, Mirrors, Boxes, and Follies. Some of this work dates from the 1980s and most of it is at least 20 years old. That said most of the work was created to look curiously old even when it was new. Running through February 25, 2024 please know that you are invited to attend. See my contact info. 4959 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90042

email was barely saved from my trash folder. I was sure it was some kind of
scam as it was international, came with attachments, and a text that launched
into an improbable story. In fact, looking back on it, the whole thing seems
like a dream. Fly from L.A. to New York
and paint a mural thought up in a Parisian design studio in an interior designed
by a London architecture firm. The thing is all my projects have a slightly
preposterous quality. Needless to say once carefully read I realized this email

gave Paris the look we associate with Paris and the Prince Street Diptyque
interior was conceived of as if it were a classical Haussman apartment albeit
with some ingenious twists. That includes my mural which at first glance looks
like a maniacal kid ambitiously scrawled on the walls, even part of the
ceiling. But if you’re thinking Cy Twombly or Julie Mehretu you’re on the right

package. The mural, the chic urbane interior architecture, the coveted corner
shop at Prince and Mott in Nolita, it all works together so beautifully which
is why I said yes to the project. It’s atypical for me to paint a mural not of
my own design or at least as a collaboration but I was sold on the idea
especially given the 3D rendering. The inspiration is from an original sketch
by Desmond Knox-Leet, the painter and one of the founders of Diptyque. And the
notion of taking his scratchy little jot and rendering it mural size:

like a diptych they live side by side; my commission projects and my studio
practice as a painter. I take techniques and ideas I develop in commissions and
use them in my own work and vice versa. Sue and I established a procedure and found
tools specifically for the Diptyque mural. The project was recreating Desmond’s work
though it could have been based on one of my own gnarly paintings/drawings.
It’s my working method to make a watercolor sketch to scale when planning a
mural commission so I think of all of my work as potentially panoramic. Scrappy
sketchy scrawls, check, I’ve done that.

Paintings for sale. For the first time ever I've got paintings online for sale. I'm calling the collection, The Villa Mirrors. Some I've sold to private clients, a couple are in a restaurant in Charleston, S.C. and one hangs prominantly above the mantle in the main salon of the Villa Feltrinelli in Lago di Garda, Italy hence "The Villa Mirrors". While they last The Villa Mirrors are for sale on <a href="http://www.scottwaterman.com/mirrors/">my webpage</a>

I’m back! I’m back in Palm Beach at <a href="https://bricktops.com/">Bricktop’s restaurant</a> with another big bird painting. That’s what the employees call it, “Big Bird”, and presumably they’ll call my second painting: “Big Bird 2” because it is a painting of a big bird too.

<a href="https://corbuscave.blogspot.com/2014/01/water-water-everywhere.html">My first one</a> was a popular hit and there was immediately talk of painting more but here we are, it’s taken four years to get an order for a second one. Like the first it is an homage to Audubon and his <a href="https://www.audubon.org/birds-of-america">“Birds of America”</a>. The idea was to take a John James Audubon bird as subject matter but render it with a twist.

With that assignment I immediately thought of the contemporary artist, Walton Ford, because he’s made a career of that sort of thing. Except I didn’t bother to reacquaint myself with Ford's paintings so my results are hardly anything like his and I’m glad of that. Both my paintings combine a sort of serious fauna study with some playful and absurd representations of life in South Florida.

And by the way the second big bird isn’t even based on Audubon, rather an image I found in the <a href="https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/">Biodiversity Library</a>. Still it looks like an Audubon. Sounds like an Audubon? Let’s say is rhymes with Audubon.

2049, deservedly so, probably, though <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/?ref_=nv_sr_2">Blade Runner</a>, the original, is simply
superior in every way. Every way. Los Angeles is big, a big target, so it’s
quite easy to hit. Hit it. What’s more sophisticated is to capture it in an
intimate way. And can we have some warmth and wit? Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: transparent; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Years ago I began a search on behalf of my power
couple clients in charming Hancock Park, (a park-like Los Angeles
neighborhood). I was looking for just the right imagery for a dining room
mural. I like to make these sorts of projects contextual so I’m thinking:
park-like, lots of foliage and bucolic. Alas nothing was sticking. Out of
frustration I tried an urban view in which I had no confidence thinking it was
not only not the right imagery but also too derivative of <a href="http://edruscha.com/works/i-tried-to-forget-to-remember/">Ed Ruscha</a> or <a href="http://peteralexander.com/painting-drawing/1980s/">Peter
Alexander</a>. Surprisingly they seemed to like that idea, still the project was
put on the back burner and I thought completely snuffed out. In fact, I learned
they’d covered their dining room in a patterned fabric. Years go by, end of story.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="background: transparent; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last Spring, I received word, game on. No, this
can’t be, I thought. Paint the urban L.A. view on top of the pattern? Ridiculous.
But I went through the motions, made a painted sample and half-way through I
could see it. This can work. And so it came to be. A “Little” fugue in G Minor.
The yellow flower forms from the patterned fabric peak through here and there
and read alternatively as a heavily body or lights from the urban fabric. And
the grisaille palette derives from the grey in the substrate. And in fact my
painting bears practically no resemblance to anything either Ed Ruscha or Peter
Alexander painted. It’s at once abstract and evocative. Los Angeles, I’m yours. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fall is always a little melancholy don’t you think? And I hadn’t
really thought of it until just this moment but so are house museums because
they’re not doing what they were meant to do, to be alive with people living in
them. This past summer I visited where <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Folks_Who_Live_on_the_Hill">‘The Folks Who Live on the Hill’</a> used to
live, two house museums. One is actually called <a href="https://www.nts.org.uk/Visit/Hill-House/">Hill House</a> and the other, well
the other was way beyond what you would think of as a house on a hill, the
cliff house(s) of <a href="http://www.visitmesaverde.com/">Mesa Verde</a>. So in the way of a harvest for something that
developed in the summer we will now take in some of what Charles Rennie
Mackintosh and the Anasazi of present day Colorado cooked up. Seemingly so far
apart in every dimension the more I look at them and think about them the more
they have in common to me. It’s a little spooky.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Anasazi'’s decision to leave the flat top of the mesa where they had been living, venture
over the cliffs, and build in the recesses of the rock remains deeply
mysterious. Why they left these dwellings in the late 1200s is also
unknown so archaeologists continue to investigate this fascinating place, a
<a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/27">UNESCO World Heritage site</a>. I am not especially afraid of heights but climbing
out of these cliff dwellings was terrifying. Satisfyingly when you’re out you
get that giddy sense of having cheated certain death. Was it ever routine for
the natives? Btw our guide for Balcony House kindly informed us before we descended into the dwelling that should you have a panic attack or any other kind of attack that might prevent you from getting our on your own steam a helicopter would pick you up, a $10,000. ride back to the top.</span></span><br />

absolute darkness you only experience far from light pollution, the night lights of
city living that I’m so accustomed to. All
the roads were lonely, mostly deserted, so I had no choice but to trust the
directions that sent me further into oblivion. By the time my rental car
reached the Island I was practically giddy with anxiety. But a beautiful
cottage, stocked with food, cozy and inviting, restored
me after my transcontinental flight and ramble in the car. I was here in the low country to meet
Amelia and Leonard Long, the developer, to find out what they had in mind, to
pass muster, and to make a proposal on the spot. All went well and I was sent
back to my California studio to create.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Just get it up, get it up!” If memory serves that’s what
Amelia told the installers when she saw my mural unrolled. If it’s on the wall
she reasoned there’d be no turning back. The developers wouldn’t be able to
reject my work as she felt they might. Too radical? Not country club enough? Probably. I’m not sure. Anyway, not only am I not a landscape painter but my background is purely fine art/ art
school, no special training in painting technique. The work is essential made
up of abstract expressionist gestural painting mark making and washes. Who does
that? Well, a lot of people, Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler, even
traditional Japanese brush and ink painting but not the sort of thing you see
in local South Carolina artist where grass always means green and the sky is sky
blue. That’s exactly what they got for the additional paintings, not part of my
commission as it turned out.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Painted in 2006 by 2010 all went up in smoke. Well no, they
saved the blue and green paintings but my mural and the structure: a total
loss. Looking back over the photos my work
still looks good to me and it lead to a number of other commissions. The
project nurtured my intuitive sense of Wabi-sabi, to trust my instincts, and
let go on a big scale. The wild low country landscape is part of my DNA at this
point, a metaphor for much in life, our lack of
control in the grand scheme of things: Nature with a capitol N as Frank Lloyd
Wright was fond of saying.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lynch has been on my mind. His <a href="http://www.sho.com/twin-peaks">Twin Peaks</a> has returned just
as predicted and there’s a theatrical <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1691152/">biopic</a> out that explores his artistic
development. So I dug out of my files a
House and Garden magazine piece from 1988 that explores the enigma that is
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lynch">David Lynch</a>. It’s just a sketch really, a brief article with some teasing shots
of his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Wright">Lloyd Wright</a> Hollywood Hills lair. Still, I remember pouring over it,
fascinated. At the time I was living in Atlanta so his backyard fauna looked
especially alien, of course the inside looked pretty freaky too but I was drawn to both. In the house on the floor leaning against the wall was
one his works of art, something other than a film. What was it? In fact, this
was one piece from his debut show at Leo Castelli’s famed New York gallery.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fast forward to 2017 and David Lynch and I are in the same
artistic circles. No, we’re not actually, but without any planning or awareness
on my part I’ve been mining a similar vein of minimalist imagery, concentric
circles. Here in Los Angeles David shows his work at <a href="http://www.kaynegriffincorcoran.com/">Kayne Griffin Corcoran</a> so
I’ve seen his most recent work and it bears little resemblance to the piece
seen in House and Garden. He’s changed.
Meanwhile I’m quite happy to take up the cause. What we need now are more
places to stop and contemplate the quiet Zen hum of the Universe. Art must be transcendental.
That’s the way I see. What about you?</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last winter I completed a mural for an apartment on Central Park South. The subject matter is contextual, it’s the Park. The mural consists of eight panels that line the entry gallery and stairwell. The compositions are the direct result of a walk in the park lead by a knowledgeable guide from the Central Park Conservancy. I had a certain criterion for the trek. I needed a number of views across water to get enough panoramic width to satisfy the area I had to cover. Then I needed height for the stairwell itself and came up with a grotto motif for under the stairs. If you know Central Park you can pick out specific identifiers in the mural that are unmistakable and this was another directive to satisfy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This apartment on the Park is not ostentatious, really. The
area of the mural is relatively intimate so it was decided the painting should
be sophisticated, urbane, yet low key. The palette is grisaille but actually
consists of color washes created from three distinct hues, a warm, a cool, and
a neutral. The value range is so narrow that at times the composition seems to
vaporize before your eyes much like the space craft in <i>Arrival</i>. Have I come to the realization that it’s more important knowing
what to leave out of a painting? What do you think? Is there anything there,
really?</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Streets so steep you pray your brakes (or your knees), won’t
fail but most of Los Angeles is a big flat basin. This makes for a big sky.
Famously we have all sorts of palm trees, ridiculous enough in and of
themselves but in fact there are endless whimsical and absurd forms to see
silhouetted against our technicolor sunsets. When I first moved here I was so
taken with shapes against the sky that this became the subject of my painting
for years. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After visiting numerous times then living in L.A. for close
to fourteen years I finally made it to Watts Towers the last day of 2016. If I
was disappointed it was only because to visit inside the walled complex you
must take a guided tour of about an hour’s duration and that was just not
enough time for me. This crazy fabrication is fantastic even against a grey
wintery sky. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

it ended up in Architectural Digest. It’s another unique opportunity for me,
painting on silver, and painting an <a href="http://corbuscave.blogspot.com/2010/02/beyond-silver-screen.html">entire room in Chinoiserie</a>. Oh and there’s
a perverse thrill in hanging with a Picasso, rather a Picasso hangs on top of

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Those blog posts, Pinterest accounts, Tumblr sites, and the
like that present a random selection of images without credit, caption, or
context they’re a bit of bête noire for me. I like to know what I’m looking at
and especially if I like it where I can find more and more about it. So is that
what I’m doing? Not quite. All the images are mine; seen with my own eyes in
cities and places I’ve recently traveled to including Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York, and the eastern shore of Maryland. Enjoy the images and know that I’ll
be happy to tell where they came from and anything else that might help. Just ask.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">That is a song sung 95 generations ago which sits atop a hill in
Brentwood under a tent at the Getty Center. If you think of the Mogao cave
paintings as songs that’s a better way of interpreting them than dull prose and
you slip easily under their spell, bizarre, fantastic, and wonderful. The ideas
behind these murals are stories from Buddhism when Buddhism entered present day
China from India through the Silk Road. The Silk Road, the internet of its day, spread not
just silk and goods and people but ideas across the globe. And consider this: the
day of the Silk Road lasted at least a thousand years.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

the issues of today like sympathy and understanding over ignorance. So here we
are in present day Los Angeles, so privileged to be able to experience these
marvelous works, recreated to scale, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdcw4RhcVX8uFViXUiOxuDdF_ei9eO6bK">exactly as they appear</a> in Dunhuang. And summer
nights, Friday and Saturday at the Getty Center are the best: no crowds, live
music, and the cool of the night. Failing that here’s a taste, some images, links
to videos, and the <a href="http://www.getty.edu/research/exhibitions_events/exhibitions/cave_temples_dunhuang/index.html">Getty site itself</a>. I hope you will enjoy.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When it comes to the work of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyfford_Still">Clyfford Still</a> there’s a lot
left to be said. He “dropped out” of the art world early in his career having
achieved a high level of recognition and died with an estate that comprises
more than 90% of his total output as an artist. The Clyfford Still Museum in
Denver, the beneficiary of his estate has yet to even examine all of the more
than 2400 works he left behind. I’ve recently returned from Denver and am still
savoring the experience of visiting the museum, the only one I went to on this
trip.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let’s go inside the museum but first a slight detour back to
1985, (or was it 1986?). I wasn't looking directly at Clyfford Still’s
work but that was my inspiration for painted walls in the office of clients for
whom I’d already painted most every wall in their house. I recall they were
very surprised with the results. I tried to describe beforehand what I was
going to do but there was no sample painting and so seeing what I had in mind
executed full scale was dramatic. They approved and were delighted. The walls
were covered with canvas per my request and I applied a malachite palette in
liquid strokes. The results are akin to Still though his application of paint
is by contrast quite dry. I’ve not done
anything quite like it before or since. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile Clyfford Still spent a lifetime investigating
variations on jagged vertical abstract forms. Now that the bulk of his work is
under one roof and available to scholars and the rest of us his paintings and creations will not doubt
be parsed, analyzed, and evaluated like never before. The museum also includes
his working materials, correspondence, personal library, and other effects
which all offer clues to the mind of an artist. Together the collection and
building create something absolutely brilliant and astounding that gives us <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYW5TY6w6k">an
insight</a> into a virtuoso, painter, and inventor.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The architect, Brad Cloepfil, with Allied Works has an
excellent <a href="http://www.alliedworks.com/projects/clyfford-still-museum/">website</a> that shows their mood board of images, material tests,
sketches, false starts, and digital animations that lead to the final design
for the Still Museum. There are other
museums devoted solely to one artist but I doubt none that so successfully present
the development and maturity of a singular vision. They’ve even thought to
include a glimpse behind the scenes including views of some of the many works
in storage as well as a working scanning lab where a technician can be seen
digitizing a Still canvas. Fascinating.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why were they not built in 1939 when Wright’s
designs for other campus buildings were erected? The answer to that is lost in
time though undoubtedly money was a key factor. In fact the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usonia#Noted_Usonian_houses">Usonian House</a> was
meant to be affordable, the everyman house, but probably owing to the fact that
FLW insisted on a high level of craftsmanship this concept never panned out and
the stripped down ubiquitous American ranch house took its place</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today there are a number of Usonian houses scattered around
the country. I first learned of them when I lived in the Bay Area and visited the
Marin Civic Center to see a Usonian built as part of the exhibition, <a href="http://www.steinerag.com/flw/Books/Realm.htm#Realm">Frank
Lloyd Wright: In The Realm of Ideas February 16 - May 13, 1990</a>. And there is one
here in L.A. which has recently come on the real estate market. Actually it’s
going up for auction 2/21/16 with estimates $2.5 - $3 (million, don’t you know).
It’s known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Sturges_House">George Sturgess House</a>
but was owned for years until his death in 2015 by Jack Larson, an actor best
known for playing Jimmy Olsen in the Superman TV series. I was kind of shocked
by his death, actually, because I used to see him at art openings and he looked
the picture of health. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tour of the Usonian House at FSU consisted of three, me
and my parents. The tour guide was informative, friendly, brief, and at the end
of the tour she left us alone to watch a video and spend as much time in the
house after that as we wished. What other FLW building gives you that kind of
freedom? My guess is none. Similarly the buildings on the campus are mostly
open and one is free to walk around at leisure. It’s an amazing opportunity for
an aficionado of Wright. Amazing. You’re welcome and thank you!</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This was a charmed job from the beginning and I like to think that comes through in the results. The designers Maximilian Sinsteden and Catherine Olasky could not have been more kind, respectful, and engaged throughout the initial discussion, design process, and installation. And their client made intelligent comments and suggestions which benefitted the final results. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Burn it to the ground! Apparently that’s what the British
had in mind in the War of 1812. Instead they spared the town of Essex and
burned the town’s ship building trade. But I’m here to tell you it’s back
albeit in pleasure craft form and the town preserved in a state of impossible
quaintness. I thought when I was there; this is so much less "real" than L.A.
because it would seem to be a set designer’s dream, so quintessentially New
England.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wish for the road to be long. It’s the journey that’s
sweet. Here’s a blog post where I’m going
to indulge the cliché, <i>it’s the journey</i>, because I recently returned from a
trip that was so much about that. When I create a mural I usually travel to the
installation location for supervising, touching up, and a good bit of nervously
standing around hoping everything will go alright. More about the mural in
another post, now let’s get to some of the journey. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

early a.m. the next day. This particular project is in Connecticut and before I
left I discovered the cross sound ferry option which is just what I took from
New London, CT to Orient Point, Long Island. I have long wanted to see the
Parrish Museum and this was my chance. <a href="http://o-and-s.com/">Max</a> said, “You must stop at the Sunset
Beach Hotel for breakfast. It’s so chic!” and that added two more ferry rides,
more journey, yay. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

grasses. Even the parking lot there is
beautifully landscaped, a forest that happens to have room for cars. The blackened
front door is that gorgeous <a href="http://www.deltamillworks.com/shou-sugi-ban/">shou-sugi-ban</a> wood with Parrish Art Museum carved in

all so wonderful but this being Friday the hordes of New Yorkers are descending
upon the Hamptons and my instinct is to run the other way which happens to be
toward the city. Still I’m left with the memory of the outer reaches of Long

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Splatting, splashing, and swirling followed by tightly
controlled strokes and hard edge outlines describes much of my painting
technique. The gold panels I painted for Amelia Handegan’s foyer are all about
that. The paint mixtures are mostly my own creation consisting of various gold
hued mica powders and flakes suspended in acrylic polymer emulsions. The panels
are dense and rich, so dense and rich it’s difficult to capture with a camera
but here I present results from my recent photo-shoot</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Someday,
someone better at this than I will make better photographs. Until then this
record is for you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How tiresome! The front stairs are all closed off and the fifth
avenue facade looks like a construction zone with tent poles. Must be some
stuffy little socialite affair. Actually, turns out it was a set-up for the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2015 </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gala , ho hum. No, I was not invited. And
I hadn’t planned another trip to see still more FLW ,(<a href="http://corbuscave.blogspot.com/2015/04/wright-this-way.html">please see last blog post</a>),but, oh well, since I’m in might
as well. BTW I’m about half way through </span><u style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frank Lloyd Wright: a biography by Meryle

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">So let us get into some really dreamy imagery. That would
include most everything in the </span><a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2015/deccan-sultans" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Sultans of India, 1500-1700 Opulence and Fantasy</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">.
Although, does shooting a disembodied head with a bow arrow count as a dream?
Whatever, I couldn’t help staring at this odd little cosmos. Then I’ll take you
over to the other end of the building, the American wing, for some <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/7875">Louis
Sullivan</a> and his offspring <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/7873">FLW</a>. Let’s stop in a wee cozy gallery to see a
