The School of Athens, 2005, oil on linen, 55"w x 44"h
Museums: More and more people flock to museums. My recent project is a meditation of this
phenomenon. I am struck by the contrast in the attitude or dress between contemporary figures
and those in these masterpieces of art. In some aspects the viewer is like a continuum with the
past. For me, copying some of my favorite artists' works I study them more intensely and pay
tribute to the figurative tradition.
