"Glamtropolis" 16x20 limited edition giclee on paper ($85)
I’m really not sure what inspired me to do this composition. How strange – a strong premonition without the usual moment of Zen? Did I watch too many episodes of ‘Dr. 90210’? Spend too much time eavesdropping on gossiping gym hotties? Or is this piece the result of subconsciously acting out against those sultry LA art gallery managers who feigned interest in my modest portfolio?
The key to this work is the background – which offers at least one reason for this woman’s expression. I wanted the mosaic to embody the hardwired look of a circuit board schematic coupled with the busy attributes of a downtown map highlighting the trendy hotspots of the bold and beautiful. That way, I can suggest that this particular citizen of Glamtropolis has finally burned out from the seemingly endless loop of having to see and be seen.

Hi Chuck, I really like this work. Just as I'm getting used to your black and white, you add color..... I saw your prints at the Salon a couple of weekends ago. The red walls work wonderfully against your black and white paintings. Very striking.
