Music of the Future
Music of the Future depicts the last section of a sonata by the baroque composer Domenico Scarlatti, a work that I have painted at over 20 times. Here, it takes on the colors, and the title, of a magical painting by Peter Doig.
The choice to pair the sonata with this painting and spend so much time studying it is based on a sense of longing to be there myself. |
The text refers to objects in Doig's painting - the mysteriously absent moon, its reflection on the water, a canopy, a marketplace, and a lavender-colored shore filled with activity.
