Painting Narrative
Artist Statement:
My
paintings reflect personal interests in design, architecture, science
and history.
I
have a solid knowledge of classical painting but my work is
contemporary. composition and geometry play a large role. I will
include materials or collages as well as computer images.
My
artistic research hinges on the position of man and technique, and
reflects the frailty of the human condition in a post-modern world
where technique is both all encompassing and a liability.
I
want to reconcile Art and Technique, both as an inspiration and a
tool to enhance creating works.
Geometric
composition is important: In the abstraction of shapes, there is more
to reality than the eye perceives.
Taking
the viewer to another level of conscience is a high achievement for
an artist. Some of my pieces are images of a state of mind, the
flickering feeling of a moment, others a more solid impression based
on visual experience.
