PSEUDOISOCHROMATIC

Pseudoisochromatic is a series of experimental paintings based on Color Vision Tests. Pornographic images are reduced to color field circles to function as “pixels”. Stencils are adhered directly to the canvas surface and once executed precisely in oil the artist peels the stencil to otherwise disguise the perverse and explicit imagery. The artist describes this act of peeling the stencil off of the canvas as if peeling skin off of flesh.

Contrasting colors and complex pictorial scenes invade the viewers space. The paintings provide an acrid sense of humor while exposing societal implications, repressed desires, taboos and the contemporary human obsession with sex.
