MEDIUM: oil on wood
DIMENSIONS: 8" x8"x 2"
original signed oil painting by Mike Geno
"jelly" is part of a very successful series of food still life paintings. I love food and aim to capture what's seductive and stimulating in my subject, through the use of paint. Shape, color and texture combined, translate the into the love of this foodie icon with sensuality and indulgence.
This painting is painted on a box-like surface. It's been signed into the wet paint on the bottom right corner (see picture) of the painting. This painting does not require framing. It's ready for hanging as is.
I have worked in meat rooms at supermarkets, as both a clerk and apprentice meat cutter, long enough to see the aesthetic values in a wide range of cuts of meat. As an 'artist/meat-cutter' I recognized the necessity for meat to be abstracted in order to be swallowed, therefore, it was natural for me to objectify meat and approach it with the same focus as my other still-life objects. I found it most enjoyable to work with subject matter that attracted a diverse audience consisting of vegetarians and carnivores alike.
Im a practicing, professional artist, teaching at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia. See my resume online to see my exhibition record.
