all works are 24″ x 24” oil on canvas
Artist Statement
The work is comprised of abstract carefully crafted paintings. These images deal with reality but at a studied distance. They are involved in formalist issues such as, balance, proportion, and scale. Color is used for it’s emotional impact. Space and spatial resolution are primary criteria. A level of spatial ambiguity is sought, serving to expand perceptual possibilities. We are creating a group of paintings that can serve to reassert the case for a non-minimal abstract art.
