takes the reader into a complex spin of a young man’s discovery, activity and guilt of the sensual world. This world of guilt and sin are held under the microscope of late 19th century Irish Catholicism.
Toward the end of the novel the young protagonist finds himself influenced by ‘thinkers’.”
Each stage of the young man’s journey is visualized by McGraw’s unique vision. “These are not illustrations of the Joyce novel but a visual retelling of events in the artist’s journey,” stated Ballard, who is delighted to have his longtime friend and associate exhibit another body of profound works of art.
DeLoss McGraw’s childhood was filled with literature, so it is not surprising that this homage to this classic Joyce novel would be an artistic influence.
His mother was an English professor and instilled in him a love for all forms * of the written word, especially poetry.
His unique approach to painting has thus been equally influenced by poetry and the successful mixing of these two . genres. Robert Pincus wrote in the magazine Art In America: “Of course, any homage reveals as much about its maker as its subject.
Drawing also from such sources as Klee, Chagall and outsider art, McGraw frequently attempts in his art to effect a psychological return to the poetic aspects of childhood.”
