air lift?

I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can't take anymore

I think its search and rescue practicing. Later they will get hot chocolate.

Or ithey are ice fishing for a monster.
Later they will feast on monster.

Wow. I'm surprised I actually like this (representational painting usually isn't my thing).

I used to work on a TV show called Wild Survival where we'd go out into the winderness and reenact people's close-call experiences (plane crashes, lost hunters, stranded kayakers, that sort of thing). This painting reminds me of that experience. There's something upbeat and stagey about about. TV-like. I agree, there's an SUV with an open tailgate full of hot chocolate, cheese sandwiches and a jumbo bag of Lay's just out of frame.

Nice to see his work again, there is more Katz in it. Interesting imagery, I like the car in the snow image.

In the early 1990's, bizarre vampire clubs began springing up in New York's Greenwich Village. The clubs boasted a dicey clientele, many of whom claimed to be real blood drinkers. Susan was so taken with the vampire world, she started dating a man who claimed to be one of the undead. Susan wrote a detailed article, but in this case her judgement seemed skewed. She apparently believed a lot of what was being told to her. To Susan's disappointment, the Village Voice never ran her article on vampires.

this painting makes time stop on a dime. brings it to an absolute screeching halt. makes time irrelevant.

helicopters in paintings are the equivalent of beautiful people walking puppys. If you see either, people are going to go awe shucks.

"beautiful people" don't walk there puppys they have people to do that for them - or they look good in there bags, - how bout the Katz at Blum now? a smile indeed!

I find viewing these pieces via digital images is an improvement over seeing them in person. The coolly represented disquieting subject matter could be a hook, but given their large size, I don't see much holding any of these pieces together.
I was there to see the exhibit of Peter Acheson's small paintings in the back room. Acheson's work does have a pulse - an element missing from Bosman's paintings.

Four horizontal grey stripes: We've found our trees, the weather looks healthy--no sign of global warming, hurricanes across a continent mid-winter are absent. There is some catastrophe going on, or, as a poster offered earlier, lunch is served. This is a gentle picture with nice marks and snow, painted indoors. The question: Does this gain one access into the interiority of the nature of what is? Or is it not a process: the busy bee in a twilight of see?

I'm a football baby,
Rollin' round the field.
I've been passed and fumbled,
Till I don't know what I feel.
Everybody's the same,
They're all footballs too.
Setting up the big play
And trying to score.

I'm a football baby
In a football game
I'm a football baby
Run--kick

Life's a football game,
As every chump and champ knows.
We don't touch, we collide,
Till we're worn out inside.
We're kicking each other,
Right where it hurts,
Setting up the big play,
And trying to score.

I'm a football baby,
In a football game
I'm a football baby,
I'm a football baby,
In a football game
I'm a football baby,
Block--pass
I'm a football baby,
In a football game
I'm a football baby,
Run---kick---hit---goal .

Most TV shows deal with voyerism by having a surveilance camera view. some heavy breathing and some foregrounded bushes. A mysterious car. A strange individual. This show did it with exposition. So then I wonder, maybe its avant guarde to just stand and talk or maybe women are more verbal and it was a show aimed at women. I want to read into it, you know, like a cultural critic.

One thing is - and I know other people say this - but artists are crazy!!!!! I wish I was as crazy as an artist!!!!

But another issue - and its the one that was most interesting (after watching the game) is that of trust. They never really dealt with the motive - I guess there wasnt one - it was sort of a Columbine sensless thing. I think the character was probably gay. That or a psychopath. But you never guessed it because the murderer is never really developed as a person. You just see them act like a dillhole.

Anyways that part was the most interesting but the least developed. Maybe teenagers dont like to think about stuff like that but I do. Its like psychological depth or something.

Just returned from a quickie trip to the Big City where I had the opportunity to check out this show. This painting was underwhelming in person although I like seeing it's image here. I agree with cralbert that this holds up better in the virtual world where the narrative feels more present than the paint.
