The Van Psycho Period

The Van Psycho Period (as I am now calling it) is a brief segment of my personal art history or "Style". The works I created during this time displayed intense psychedelic colors, in combination with distorted and exaggerated shapes. The shapes were accentuated with strong definitive brushstrokes in a linear contour, creating both texture and movement. Some suggested that these works were influenced by Van Gogh, but there is also an influence from the Expressionists as well as the primitive carvings of ancient Africa. Most of the subject matter painted during this time was shocking, frightening and deeply disturbing.
