Post minimalist, expressionist, repetitionist.

Drawings and paintings: Addressing societal hierarchy or Darwinian survival tis a rift on the daft didactic disciplines of the 21st Century.  Watson’s figures of big city men, runway models and rather dandy fellows, capture the plight.  As stated above, minimal, expressionistic, and repetitive in nature, Watson pushes the images to the forefront of the canvas minimizing background.  Garment bits sewn on the canvas and a laundry line or two complete the picture. 

Silkscreens:  My current series is “Sunflower”.  I add found objects to represent the stem.

Text paintings: Are just that, statements, scenarios and sayings at various squared angles allowing the painting to be hung in any direction.  All texts are Watson originals except scripture.  

Conceptual colorless paintings I reduced the definition of “Art” into one word – “color” then rebelled against that definition and the colorless painting was conceived.  I added the brackets and titles.
Watson worked out of Ries Studios LIC from 2008 to 2011 but now currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.  A comprehensive explanation of his work is available upon request.
