Recently I was introduced to Mark Rothko's work, by my art-teacher who said some of my drawings have similar qualities, and I must say I was extremely impressed with his unique style. And upon seeing this work by you, I felt as thuogh this teddy bear had been tossed into one of Rothko's Untitled-works! This was a little surreal at first, because the colour-areas in his paintings seemed here to take on a liquid quality!! Quite a surreally postmodernist take, I should think.
But you continue this droplet motif here again, and through exagguration and inference you create what I believe is the culmination of all the elements in the first two pieces. The droplet here is red, which links it to the blood in the first piece, but it is given as a tear here, which links it to the second work's water-droplet in the speech bubble. This idea of 'tears of blood' on its own is quite unsettling and powerful, but there is an underlying self-irony or humour because of the identical elements.
Also, while in the first piece the smears of spilt blood were relatively small, here you have exaggurated that into what seems to be a great lake of blood. When this piece is looked at as a sort of consequence from the first one, the result is quite frightening; it is as if you are saying that if this 'sawing of arms' continues, we will revel and then drown in the consequences of our actions, macabrely personified here as blood.
The way you've painted the expanding rings of liquid blood here is really stylish, and the 3D realism mixed with this Rothko-esque abstract touch creates a really splendid effect.
In this piece the colours are even clearer than in the previous two, basically placing the white and red distinctly seperate of one another, and then including this wood-coloured teddy bear as a sort of unifying link between the two. Visually, this is perhaps the most appealing to me personally.
You have done a magnificent and stylish job with this series, and if I know you well enough I should say that this will not be the last such series produced by you.
