I don't know, there's just something about his art that speaks to me, it's very evocative, the use of colour (I'm a colour fiend!), the smooth, loose yet conscious brush strokes, the washes and intentional running of paint. Very impressionist. But it's also the way he integrates images of women's faces for his subject matter that fascinates me, he really captures feminine beauty, elegance and grace quite successfully. I like that they don't look like magazine cut-outs collaged onto the canvas, be blends the faces into the work really well. In some works, he paints only a section of a woman's face which is neat, it adds an air of mystery and seduction. Although he may get criticism for glamorizing these women, I deprecate that because I think it suits his style! I thought it was oil he used but it's in fact acrylic, acrylic on wood. Personally, I prefer the quality that acrylic on wood produces. Love it! All in all he's a genius in my book, I'm so captivated by his work it drives me crazy. Other opinions?
