Dads Sons Cars Waves 2017

David Michael Hinnebusch’s 'Dads Sons Cars Waves' is, like, a whole world built in paint. It's all swirly blues and yellows, smeared together like some kinda dreamy memory. I’m imagining Hinnebusch in his studio, wrestling with this canvas, letting these thick strokes of paint just flow out of him. Look at that wild curve of black, how it suddenly smashes into that pale yellow! It’s all action, like he's chasing after something, you know? The texture is so physical, you can almost feel him pushing the paint around, trying to get it right, and then just letting it be. There's a raw energy here, a kinda tension. Maybe he was thinking about family, or the passing of time, or just the crazy beauty of everyday life. I bet Willem de Kooning would have dug this guy. It's like they're all talking to each other, these painters from different times, sharing their secrets through the language of touch and color. It shows how ambiguity can be beautiful and how multiple interpretations are possible when one views a painting.
