This painting is hanging in my wife's office. she is a marriage therapist and often refers to the 'elephant in the room'. i wanted the illegible words to reflect the jungle safari and for it to appear as if the beast was peering from underneath cover. it is exposing for me to paint apparent images so i feel more comfortable with them covered by graffiti and other abstract images. the king is dancing is also a oxymoron for someone or thing that should not be doing what it's doing. i love when people buck tradition or adapt other cultures because that is what they want to do. Just serve something bigger than your own mind, surrender and adapt. so when i create an image out of likeness that is the king and when I add on additional layers that is the dancing.
