Life in Equilibrium 202040" x 40" (101.6 x 101.6 cm) acrylic on canvasBergenfield, New Jersey
Two primary colors aswirl, as if in contention for dominance. Yet not opposing as much as one yielding to the other in a playful dance, each happily giving turns in the spotlight. Separate yet together in translucent layers and joyful swoops across the canvas, the hues are in concert and harmony with each other, a welcome reminder that even in apparent disorder, the spark for equilibrium ever remains.

Nonlinear Expressions 202130" x 40" (76.2 x 101.6 cm) acrylic on canvas
New York, New York
It took no less than a year to conceptualize, execute and install this extra special piece for my ex-boss, mentor and friend, Daniel Kahn. “Nonlinear Expressions” was commissioned by Daniel’s beloved Complex Securities team (of which I was part), fellow partners, and colleagues at Ernst & Young (EY) to celebrate his retirement in 2020. This commission was a huge personal challenge for me in many ways, not the least of which is Daniel’s sophisticated taste in art and design, but more importantly my goal to present something uniquely Complex Securities, and quintessentially Daniel.
So I plucked my valuation/financial engineering hat out of retirement (I left the finance world in 2017 to pursue art), emptied the nonlinear formulas out of it, and spread them on a “lognormally textured” canvas. These expressions are our tribute to Daniel, whose own career and legacy shaped many of ours in unique, idiosyncratic, and beautifully nonlinear ways.
