July 1 – July 31
My years as an architect have influence my art and informed my work. the painting and drawings begin with a formal liner structure. The grid is then manipulated, changed and removed. I use transparency, overlapping shapes and images.
My paintings aim at a joyful and playful celebration of color. I have used contrast between vertical banding and the sharp curves that play against it, inflecting the entire surface with a counterpoint between straight and curving rhythmic beats. I have eliminated the distinctions between ground and figure upon which traditional composition depends.
I hope the viewer will have a direct relationship with the painting. The shapes become dematerialized and abstract, producing decorative impact based on linear form and color.
