GUTS

I created this fish piece originally for an exhibition that I had with my wife Kristal KC at Montreal's Foufounes Electriques in 2019. The title of our exhibition was SUGAR COATED MONSTROSITY. Although I liked this piece, something bothered me about it. The background was pale blue with paint dripping and it made it too busy. Years later I decided to revisit it. I painted the background black and added the mini frame. Now I like it much better. It is a painting about deception in which there is still hope.
