Commissions
In addition to his published work, the artist undertakes a limited number of private commissions.
These works are developed in close dialogue with the patron, with consideration given to material, scale, and subject. While each commission is distinct, they are often informed by the artist’s current lines of inquiry, allowing individual requests to intersect with ongoing bodies of work.
Commissions may range from small studies to larger, site-responsive pieces, and are approached with the same attention to process, material, and intent as exhibited work.
Inquiries are considered on a case-by-case basis.
History of Commissioned Work
Recent commissions include a number of portrait works undertaken in Italy—across Rome, Turin, and Milan—as well as in New York, Vienna, and Amsterdam. These are often figurative in nature, developed as considered representations of a patron’s family member, with attention to both likeness and presence. Alongside these, more recent commissions have taken a conceptual, site-specific, or process-driven form, typically initiated through a patron’s engagement with an existing work and a desire to extend or reframe its underlying concerns within a new context.
Accepted Considerations
Commissions are rarely gifted, and are instead undertaken by arrangement with the patron; when granted as a designation, they remain valid for the lifetime of the artist. Rates and timelines are established in advance through direct discussion. A deposit of fifty percent is required to retain the artist, with the remaining balance due upon completion and delivery of the work.
