 The Daily News
Acrylic on canvas, 30” x 36” Reference to "The Daily News" in media: surface and symbol, March 2005, p 9. "Art and Meaning: a post 9/11 collision course" - see article here »
"The Daily News" was featured in an exhibit titled "Facing the Dark Side: Transendence" at the RedEye Studio Gallery in Toronto's Distillery District held March 2-13, 2005. See gallery review here » Ordering prints - see here » Email the artist here » Painting response: The painting depicts what the contents of present-day newspapers emphasize: a) entertainment and brawls - as shown by the three hockey vignettes in the painting; b) angry, emotional harangues and outbreaks, as shown by the many repetitive shouting figures, and c) passions coupled with sensuality and beauty, as indicated by the almost tearful, beautiful woman in the center. The images suggest the nearly content-less materials to be found in the media, instead of reflective, informative news about important issues. John Mayer, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Brock University |
