In many respects, these are paintings of defeats: a single, isolated sports shoe, Italy losing, a grayish corner in a Shell station in an American suburb, well-kept artificial houseplants. Loneliness unravels its colors, which are both stark and melancholy. But through the distress evident on the surface we perceive a sense of liberty. It is, perhaps, because the painting itself has nothing more to lose; not quite defeated, it no longer fears its own failure, and hence prevails.
