Technique

I visited an overview of the work of Jan Cox. I learned a lot. The show was well put together, and looking at the work I saw why Tony Mafia liked the man and his work. Their way of handling paint, loading the brush is similar. The strange distorted yet often pretty figures, the outlines, sometimes the composition of a canvas shows that these painters are kindred spirits. They were both tormented artists suffering of depression. This whimsical drawing is Dress in Blue.
