Emotion series 2
After the Frelloist portrait it has been hard to get back into painting. Painting The Frelloist/Frelloisten drained me because it was like cracking a really, really hard code, or like spewing everything you are and have into one performanc,e or like fighting goliath.

I started by smearing leftover paint from my previous painting onto the 38x46cm canvas and then pulling the paint off with a cloth where the highlights were to be. Paint on, paint off, paint on, […]
