THIS PAINTING WAS INSPIRED BY THE BASEBALL CATCHER AND SLUGGER MIKE PIAZZA WHEN PLAYING FOR THE NEW YORK METS.
THE ATHLETIC CHOREOGRAPHY ONE OBSERVES WHEN A BATTER STEPS UP TO THE PLATE IN AN ATTEMPT TO BRING BAT TO BALL AND GAIN A HIT, IS A TRANSCENDENTAL EXPERIENCE TO WITNESS.
TO IMAGINE THE MOMENT IN WHICH THE SHIFTING BALANCE OF THE TORSO, BEING PIVOTED WITH GREAT VELOCITY IN PROJECTING A POWERFUL SURGE TO MEET THE PACE OF THE BALL, OFFERS A MYSTICAL PHYSICS WITHIN THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROTATION OF THE BODY VORTEX.
TO HIT THE BALL AND FOLLOW THROUGH IMPLIES A TRANS METAPHORIC STATE TO BEHOLD.

MIKE PIAZZA DURING HIS CAREER WITH THE METS WOULD OFFEN BEDAZZLE WITH HIS BIO-MECHANICAL ARTISTRY.
