Thoughts. Stumbling with the idea of representing a whole idealogy through one painting. Never done, always insufficient. Overworked, wrecked. Projecting human frustrations onto the canvas. The best work it always about insufficiency and the acceptance/humility of it. This is dignity. This is what is read through the work-Tuymans/Duman/Tait.
Quick work. Drawn out colour. Dried. Two colour over working. Enough. The desire to paint that insufficiency. Learning to validate, work quickly and honestly, and then leave it alone.
This is the problem with the hyperreal. It offers solutions to these problems, whereas the problem is what is interesting. There are no solutions. It is okay to stop looking for them. Enjoy the crapness. Today: the cowboy.
