More Love Love More #1

Inspiration is everywhere. While walking in my neighborhood, I noticed someone had scratched the words ‘More Love’ into wet pavement cement.

A painting was born. I created the loop that reads as More Love, Love More and set it to a graph of eight by eight squares.

I count three influences here, Paul Klee, Jasper Johns and Robert Indiana. Four if you include John Lennon.

This is the smaller of the two “More Love Love More” paintings I’ve created. It is also the most requested piece that I have for posters and reproduction purposes.

This painting spawned a series of smaller paintings where a single set of the words More Love is set in such a way that reads both backwards and forwards.  (see paintings entitled More Love on this site).

I have also composed and produced a song and video with this title which can be viewed here.
