Tour Eiffel
This painting is a send up to Willem De Kooning somewhat of a spiritual painting “father” to me. I created this in 2011, after seeing his retrospective at the MoMA. I prefer to work large, but I was pretty broke at the time with not much to paint on but these little, pre-stretched canvases gifted to me by a former studio mate. I placed them together on my kitchen floor and had a go. The Tower worked itself out amongst the little canvases and the right corner jutting out on the lower right makes it a little comical. The brush strokes and colors are quite “Bill’s,” I’d say. I've lived with it and I hope you want to. I am a Francophile at heart and I want to place this homage to the city of light in the home of another lover of Paris.
Oil on canvas, 48 x 44”
