The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel)

‘Iron Lady,’ of sensual beauty in the ‘City of Light:’
(La Dame De Fer: Bienvenue a Paris, France!)

Built to be the world’s tallest structure at 300 meters,
As the gateway entrance to the 1889 ‘Exposition Universelle:’
That spouted accomplishments in the age of...

Walking Down To Death is a daily sorrowful walk into the darkness of life.

Where you loose all control.

The sidewalks seem to come alive to eat at your exterior as you hunt for your drug of choice.

This chase leaves you feeling worn and riddled with the...

My ideas for paintings emerge organically from the process of their making. Painting is a continuum and the plasticity of the medium is its beauty; it can be anything, which continues to evolve and fascinate the more that I see.

We are altered in some way...

IT IS WHAT IT IS an Ekphrasis
Without narrative, isolated as is
moments of figuration..
sunlight on the side of a wall..
frozen in time..conversations of
unheard voices.
Within, stillness and a paradox..
a welcome to the world to come 
inside.. to reside.. commune.
This interplay of imagination..
soundless tunes..emblematic
silences..symbolism saturated with
suggestion.
Soft realism where...

AN ECLECTIC ENIGMA 5
Awareness,articulated,emphasises inherent
intimacy,communicated eye to eye.
Everchanging yet underlying the movement
,here and there.Engraved forever,catalogued
in human memory,available on recall.
Translucent interplays of lght,figuration in
transition,precise palpitations of pure delight
sound in the beholders ear.Testaments of
transparent,and the temporal,all too soon
evaporates before the eye.
Inspired by Jim Ede’s collection of artworks

Intrigued by her figuration
Her breath taking figuration
Her key is her heart
Her comfort is her heart

Dressed in obedience
Fashioned with obedience
Her understanding is genuine
Her package of respect is genuine

Her vision unbreakable
Fame from kindness unbreakable
Her self esteem stands out
Her self control stands out

Her mind nests broken hearts
Her tongue...

Bowing to the East,
a sacred obligation,
comforting
and curious forehead down
to kiss this humble ground
of ego's straight supremacy

Including fat white men 
buttocks up
and yintegrity open to receive

To imagine Allah's horniest Tao
amid straightest men
together worshiping Earth's political ground
of cultural becoming

Imaging an invisible economic hand
to massage
message
market
sell and buy and...

DECODING THE MESSAGE

a gentle 
& tasteful
 critique
with
an ongoing
 preoccupatation
with
 figuration

a  change
in
direction
a collaboration
initiated
by
 memorabilia
of emerging
improvisation

a series
 concentrating
on fragments
 of imagery
 from
the  unexpectedly
&  overt
underlying

currently
 unscripted
this non-stop
 this
churn
now long long
forgotten &
 discounted ten
yet a
prized
 improvisation
of the
 intuitive
approach
 to a
creativity  
but
 so
compellingly
 strange

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique...

SPECIFIC MOMENTS

visual language
  inspiration
in
retrospective

 contemporary
dreams
of an alternative
future
 a moment 
of
reckoning
 flooded
 into
the eye
once  moribund
now
 captivated
 encountering
 the beauty
of refinement

 to establish
affinities 
between
the sensitive
& the
 non-comprehensive

a turning point
a  narrative
of the a romantic
constantly
renewed
 in
the mind

a battleground
& clashing 
of styles
 a sign 
of prescience
& genius

 an indicator
of dialogue
in rethought
figuration
of
the
absurd

BEAUTY & REFINEMENT

specific moments
forging
 a
visual
  language

inspiration
  gone mainstream
in
retrospective

an
  alternative
moment 
of
  reckoning
grown
  moribund

a
prestigious
 encounter
of
 ideas
 of beauty
& refinement
 dramatically
spot-lit

 in
truly mutual
  comprehension
 now disappear
from view

the clashing
  styles
a sign 
of the
 prescience
& genius
in
 dialogue
in
a spellbinding
astounding piece
off

figuration

Newborn baby, a result of human figuration? 
Have you ever seen a newborn baby?

Cancer victim releasing that last sigh
She reaches her arms toward the sky
Her face turns more peaceful
than it has looked for months.

Car wreck. Everyone should be dead.
Your daughter is the only one saved....

Often on long horizontl  format
simple elements so abstract...
