Review The Mundane (2004-2009)

After reading the biography and artist's statement in the front sections of this book, I am amazed at how quickly this artist's watercolor technique has progressed. I am perplexed by the artist's selection of subject matter but am very impressed by his rendering of the pieces. These truly are "mundane" subjects but this artist's rendering of them gives an almost surrealistic view of our world. The pieces are a mix of impressionism and realism and have a unique vibrance I haven't seen anywhere before. I highly recommend investigating this artist's work as I feel he will take us on an unique artistic journey as he investigates more of the world around us.
This is a must read book!
