continuity more than a thought
Valley Work – digital painting / original prints – Dan Beck 2005
I don’t know if anyone but me plays “gallery chance” or “image roulette” found on main pages of Outhouse Studios and in some galleries on the site. I seem to like random – I both like the leave it up to chance thing and don’t believe in chance – all at the same time.
In my mind, there is nothing particularly random about this piece coming up today. It is a work, I have wanted to print large, but haven’t had a good reason. I most recently have put up an exhibit in a local coffee roastery with very big walls – and was planning on including this work in the show – but didn’t.
Intellectually, the work fit – both about the workers and the abstract look of the valley – but stylistically – it didn’t fit with the rest of the work. Fortunately, my art keeps evolving – it doesn’t make an older work like this one not work – but it does date this one as being from a different time.
