Llibres blaus ("Blue Books") by the Mallorcan artist Jaume Falconer. Collage and acrylic on wood.
This artwork represents the sea, the universality of knowledge, and the union of all our islands, all of them united by this blue sea that was sailed by the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and all the civilizations that have left us their footprint on our graphic culture.
Fons artístic de la Universitat de les Illes Balears.

Philip Taaffe
John Yau
Lund Humphries, London 2018, 144 pages, 100 colour illustrations, ISBN 978-1-848 22-263-2, Contemporary Painters Series
euro 45,00
This book presents a comprehensive view of the work of American painter Philip Taaffe (b.1955), who has expanded the parameters of painting through his use of silkscreen, linocuts, collage, stencils, gouache, chine-collé, marbling, acrylic, enamel, watercolour and gold leaf. Possessing many technical skills, Taaffe has moved decisively between unique pictorial inventions and appropriations, as well as overlaying divergent modes of representation, through cultural patterns found in ornament, and biomorphic abstraction.
John Yau's insightful text is the first to look at every part of Taaffe's artistic development, from the works he made at Cooper Union while a student of Hans Haacke, to the present. It pays special attention to Taaffe's acquisition of different techniques, as well as investigating his various sources of inspiration, which include the work of experimental filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner and Harry Smith, the Natural History illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, and the ancient art of paper marbling.

Here are a couple of my favourite abstract collages I’ve made. These were all done using discarded materials I found and on wood panel. I made these two during the Covid years. They hang in my house for now.

learning to love the process and lean into layering over things when in doubt. still considering this a ground/under layer for a painting to evolve on.
feels like forever since I’ve finished a piece, but I think I’m slowly getting back into a rhythm.
