Description 24x36" 60x75cm acrylic on hardboard

I could have called this abstractnine because it's an abstract or Falling with a View 4 since it clearly comes out of that series, but instead I opted to name it after it's principal organizing feature: the grid is a roughly drawn street map of the London districts of Chelsea and Brompton. Why? Just for the heck of it, I guess.

As long as I'm still in England it doesn't matter so much

Born and lived my life in spiritual exile, but I did spend several months exploring Britain via a BritRail pass in the early 70's. Now I travel via streetview, the only way I travel these days.

Spiritual exile sounds very different!!

Great piece of cartographic abstraction (I think you may have just invented that genre). Looks like the detail of a mosaic.

Thanks. What I like best about it is that I said 'Hold on, I don't have to color in all the spaces.' It is the white spaces rather than the colored ones that make this piece work for me. And I like your cartographic abstraction genre idea. Don't know if I'll do it again, but I've spent more than a week with nothing to show in the way of paintings, so maybe...
