This diptych, two pieces at 36” x 48” x 1.5” ea., total an area of 72"W x 48"H x 1.5"D. My romance with 90° angles began with the infinity of right angled lines I lived with for decades as an architect. Yes, I often pushed for organic, wavy walls, but they’re inconvenient and not so affordable.

Angles are crisp, though, and with the right pigment and texture on canvas, they’re musical and dynamic. Follow them with your eyes on 90.18° and you’ll weave through metallic gold lines and overlapping swaths of smoky blue, grey, taupe and pale goldish yellow glazes. Pearlescent white flow paint is traced in organic shapes that foil this intense rectilinear fabric. Those tracings are outlined in fine calligraphic lines of deep grey-blue. The big textural gobs of orange and cadmium red were laid on with my favorite tool, a palette knife.

The contrast of organic to rectilinear shapes and of smooth raw canvas to bold texture is visual food from afar and at close inspection. 90.18° is eighteenth in the 90° series.

Materials Used: Acrylic and Metallic paint

The 1-1/2” deep museum mount edges are painted as extensions of the composition. 90.18° arrives prewired, ready to hang.
