Exit - February 1983 - acrylic on canvas - 34 x 40 inches
This is one of my favorite all-time paintings. I thinks it's because of the feeling that I still get from it. I get a buzz from it. As If I can get stoned just by looking at it. I remember when I had the idea for this one. I was at a friends place putting a puzzle together and I was assigned the sky. I was just about to put in the final piece when I thought, that once I place this piece in, the sky will all get fused together and nothing will be able to come in from the other side, as all the openings will be closed. So this was the moment of their last chance. I remember even hesitating before placing this last piece, perhaps only because I did not want to be finished my assignment.
