In these new works, he tries to create a kind of hum that resonates from the work when wildly disparate colors and forms suddenly click together. This happens at the instant of recognition when all elements are working together in syncronicity. The viewer works mentally with the composition, and pattern, piecing the image together.

At their best, they express pure joy, and when combined with his style and serious, though not necessarily tragic subjects, the viewer feels the zing as he hits the bull's-eye.
