Chris Olivera. We live with four of his works, including two paintings:
We also have two pages from his notebook/sketchbook which I'm delighted to have -- they deepen the experience of engaging with his more finished paintings. It's like reading a poem, and then reading the poetics underlying such a poem. Except for jokey TMI references, I can't recall ever concluding about anything that knowledge is not a good thing. My son glommed onto those sketchbook pages when he first got to the house -- even a child can discern the liveliness of the work -- and they now hang in his bedroom.
