Artist's Statement

“Scribe” is a revolution of the “Trattistic” endeavor…
…walking through Rome I chance upon the “Trattisti”. There at the base of the Spanish Steps they painted with enthusiasm and passion beckoning me to join them, I put down my travel bag and take up a brush. The paint is seductive as I begin my marks. “No! Stop!” they gestured. I had instinctively curved my line. “We are the Trattisti!” they proclaimed. “The lines... they needed to be straight.” I succumbed to their pressure and altered my style to conform to their edict. I was one with the “Trattisti” and slept with them in their abandoned warehouse that night close to the railroad station where they debated a socialist’s right to free electricity in their domain. I smiled inwardly, wondering if they will also make the Italian government draw a straight line. Later that night, our natural hunger over stepped the boundaries of rigid doctrine. We travelled on scooters weaving and curving through traffic looking for pizza and a glass of wine. This journey is but an instant in the cause and effect of the automatic line paintings before you.
