Revisiting the compositional idea from a previous series, this painting explores the nuances and intricacies of unspoken communication. Whilst working in downtown San Diego during the time that I created this composition, I was struck by a clear, observable pattern. There was an apparently direct correlation between the amount of clothing worn by business professionals and their level of success. The women who appeared to be the most successful wore short skirts and low-cut blouses. Whereas the most successful men wore dress shirts, neck-ties, cuff-links, business suits and had very little visible skin. I incorporated these observations into a painting that commented on this wardrobe paradox and left an open ended question as to the relationship of the two subjects in the painting. This is a very large painting that is now in the home of a private collector.

About:

Feralo is the creative portfolio of Noah Spahn. Spahn is a painter with degree in Studio Arts from Biola University, a deep interest in several marked periods of Art History, and Artists ranging from Caravaggio to Immendorf.

His work is typically a veiled glimpse into some facet of his current musings. The mediums used vary as much as their application, whilst the human form is generally the vehicle. Themes may include transcendental aesthetics or the rejection of visceral urges amidst the complexities of commonplace social environs. He has also been known to produce the occasional 'automatic painting', the interpretation of which probably lies in the realm of his unconscious.

During his 25 year career as an Artist, Spahn has worked as a commissioned limner, 3D modeler, architectural draftsman, aerosol muralist, portraitist, graphic designer, creative consultant and advertising director.
