Love-Artist's Statement
This work is about 'Love', that elusive feeling we all know about and hope to experience, but are incapable of analyzing. The harder one tries to pin it down, the more evasive it becomes. I have attempted to express the turmoil of these emotions of opposing values in paint.
This poem by Erick Fried expresses them nicely in words.
LOVE
What it is
It is madness
says reason
It is what it is
says love
It is unhappiness
says caution
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It has no future
says insight
It is what it is
says love
It is ridiculous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love
