this painting contends with handling of attitude in the context of dealing with issues that include obsession with tech gadgets as well as with personal baggage… at times, one must take a “time-out” to deal with the beast within….

“app 4 distractions 3″   © GN  2011      24″ x 18″     acrylic, pencils ink & oil on paper

This is the newest from my app series where I was inspired by a detail from

Michelangelo’s Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, fresco, 1534-1541 (Vatican City, Rome).

In the detail, Michelangelo  included Saint Bartholomew, who was martyred by being skinned alive.

He holds the knife in one hand (although in my painting, he is holding a tech-gadget, of course),

and in his other he holds his skin. When we look closely at the skin of St. Bartholomew

we see that Michelangelo painted his self-portrait there which appears distorted in the sagging skin.

In this app painting, I decided to create my own apps, for example:

app 4 momma’s boys, app 4 reformers, app 4 injustices, app 4 ego repair, app 4 the have-nots, & app 4 soothsayin’

enjoy!
