Gary Mayer
Chaos , Passion , pushing feelings emotions beyond constraints , excess , animalistic , nature wildness all things associated with Dionysus. Really wellsprings for Art especially the Art I admire and I hope to make . I’ve been doing a figure drawing session once a week for a number of years and I thought the sensuality and eroticism associated with this Greek god were a perfect subject to pit yo use all the drawing I had done . I’ve often done inventive figurative work and purely abstract work but this body of work needed bodies not so abstracted or imagined but more real pulsing alive
