Hideyuki Sobue said… - I like your strong figurative touch. Although my style is not focusing human figure, I try to depict "life" in various subjects with representative expression. Please have a look at my page. Thank you.

Thank you for your compliment, I use photos as a launching point for the paintings but do a fair amount of life drawing. I hope to have more opportunity for using live models in the near future. I really appreciate your focusing on the interaction of your figures and I can see your motivation for often the neutral ground (in terms of identifying location) with a further emphasis of your mark. When do you make the choice to incorporate the local setting like with "Comfort"? You've got a really lovely mark going on by the way.
Thanks
Pat

Hillel Kagan said… - Thanks for your comment John. Naturally being a curious person I gave your work a quick survey and was very impressed with much I saw and of course I see our connection, so thanks for inaugurating our discourse and just to get things going a bit I have to tell you right off, not that it means much but just as a point of conversation, that I don't think Fischl (although he's been improving through the years) can draw and paint the figure worth a damn, the rest of your "liked" artists I can understand and I love you for understanding the significance of Alice Neel, one of the greatest figurative painters and seemingly constantly forgotten but one who understood the importance of the human gesture and was willing to gamble with approaching caricature to get it right and usually she was the winner.
Being not all that computer savvy and not having warmed to this site yet, I see I'll have to join the Figurative Art dialogue so we can continue our chat. Once again thanks for your impetus.
