This is the first of three Pitchers - ‘Pitcher 1’ - from my show ‘I don’t want to live in a world without feathers’ @noguerasblanchard up through January 5 in Barcelona! “The heart of the exhibition is a series of three large-scale paintings entitled ‘Pitcher 1,’ ‘Pitcher 2,’ and Pitcher 3,’ each referencing a different meaning of the word.” “Pitcher 1: (a person who pitches the ball to a batter) A clenched claw-hand extends from a large muscular form, gripping a red ball against a green playing field and burning orange horizon. Tension and hard edges make up this canvas, abstracted from a moment seconds prior to slinging the ball.”
