Current Demand (updated picture)


Now that the weather improved I got a better photos of Current Demand, and several other of the large works. The original post had a low quality photo from my cell phone camera with practically no light.

We show the paintings in a poster frame, rotating them from time to time, it provides a different decoration, and also gives me and our guests a chance to look at the paintings. This one was interesting because it has a contemporary theme, that is, the relation between people and energy. On a recent trip to Shawinigan this theme was very prominent- power dam construction, electricity, and aluminum. I would like to redesign and paint a new version of this one, maybe it can be the next one after I finish "Four Elvis's Climbing a Mountain" which is on the painting frame at the moment.

On the back of the painting frame I mark down the name of the painting and the year, this one was done early in 2010, before The Extruders and The 2010 Solution. Stylistically this is a lot like The Fish Catchers 2008. I used the doodleism technique here, where individual doodles are combined into a larger work.
