I love what you say about his depicting what is both present and absent at the same time. Reminds me of Mark Strand's line about Hopper: "We feel the presence of what is hidden, of what surely exists but is not revealed." Something about the solitude, and the quietude, in his work that clears the space needed for this absent presence to assert itself. What beauty. Hank Annelisa-
