Who says I'm not under the protection of God Paul Beumer 2009

At first this work looked like a Pollockesque storm of paint. Approaching it I found it to be a mixed media piece, with cutout pictures and deliberate spools of paint mimicking the images underneath. I found it oddly interesting.

With its size it offers a lot of layers to explore, though its meaning eludes me.

I like the very organic and dynamic feel of this statue. It's also interesting how the colours are made, as the stone is black when polished smooth while approaching white when roughly engraved, an effect that is very deliberately used.

The shape looks human, though it's ultimately a bit ambiguous.

I always find it fascinating how much one can leave out and still create a figurative piece.
