About the Painting 2

Another detail from center panel		The Artist has said: "The element of a painting into which I put the most thought is its structure. This is a term that shouldn't be confused with composition or unity. Some critics have said that structure is no longer important in a work of art because we live in an unstructured age. But the world has always been unstructured, and it has always been the artist's role to try to impose structure upon it. I challenge myself with the most difficult structural problems I can devise. I like the tensions resulting from my attempts to organize the disparate elements and make them contribute to the effect of the whole."

While he was working on this project, it occurred to the Artist that the technology he was using could be used to make a giant version of his triptych and that people might respond to the larger image in an entirely different way. A properly-made enlargement could be even more impressive and powerful than the original. A 28-foot long enlargement of the triptych was shown at his most recent New York show. See his home site for a picture.		Detail from center of right panel
