Disposable Painting

A color field painting recedes to reveal the artist responsible for its creation, begging the question is it the artist or the artwork that is disposable?  Paintings generally live longer than the artists who make them.  Is the artist literally "in" his artwork?  Does he literally bleed and die for his work?  How is making a painting like committing suicide?

Like the piece - very much. I think it could be expanded into other works as well.
