Littleton S Irby

Artist Statement

To be honest I think his work has a really unique sense of color that is for sure influenced by his cultural, racial and ethnic background I also think this series in particular lends to opening up about his joy for being gay and celebrating his life as a happy sexually well educated and well adjusted gay man from Long Island New York, relocating to the east bay. If you step back and look at his work in comparisons to other abstract expressionist his works are much more sophisticated .they are new different and unlike most paintings you have seen which is a great compliment .Littleton images are more than sophisticated or unusual. One reason is his work has a unique sense of color that is quite wonderful actually. His color clusters are seldom seen together but the compliment well.
They are better then that;his work needs to be shown in fine art galleries.
Its time to show them something they have not seen before.
His work can do that, it can blow their heads off.
