Roger Albert: Paintings -Drawings -Prints

This is a conté drawing done in 20 minutes or so. I draw with The Cumberland Lifers. Check out our blog noted below. I no longer have this piece...it now lives in Victoria.

Another acrylic painting in my boat series. This one is 24"X24". It just sold at auction so it wasn't in my life a long time, but I enjoyed painting it. Another acrylic painting of the same derelict tugboat. Same size as the one above. SOLD at auction.

I did this simple coloured pencil drawing years ago. I'm going to use it as the basis of a painting soon.

Forest Floor (acrylic, 24X30) Cobra Fern (acrylic, 24X30) Languid Liquid (acrylic 24 X 48 inches)

The photo doesn't do this piece full credit. The actual painting in acrylic (16"X20").

I hope that it's obvious that it's a self portrait.  In a political frame of mind recently, I titled this piece: The Colonial Master Gazer. That works, I think but from that perspective it's a little embarrassing that I'm the model for the piece. Whatever, I think it works whatever I call it.  My daughter, Marika, is in possession of this piece.

The three images here are linked. The first image is of a Balinese wall plaque that we bought some time ago. For a project in silk screening class I put together an image derived from the mask that I call Bali Weeping as a commentary on colonialism and the loss of Balinese culture via westernization. The third image is a monoprint. It was created as the print series was created. There are 9 colour 'pulls' for my Bali Weeping print, 9 separate screens that must be used for the 9 different colours involved. Every time I pulled a colour on the print I also pulled it on the monoprint so that every pull is present on the monoprint but in a very different relationship to the 'regular' print. I like the effect and it is definitely one of a kind.
