Original artwork description:

My paintings are fueled by my love of abstraction. The practice of making them involves appropriating, re-inventing, and mixing from many schools of art and diverse art movements from the early 1900s to the present. For the most part, I do not adhere to a "recognizable style", and instead depend on my intuition, and shift back and forth within different parameters. Sometimes I work in pairs but have also worked in series as in my Concrete Paintings. I favor flat blocks of color, straight lines, hard edges, the grid, patterns, color juxtaposition, stripes, and geometry.
The work is distilled, elegant, and austere.

I relate to painting as if it were a dance, trying to understand new steps between color and geometry. There are never any hints of gestures or marks. My work is firmly planted in the Minimalist, Reductive, Geometric, and Hard Edge Schools of painting.

I work with a mixture of acrylic paint, matte medium, and gesso on canvas, paper or wood, giving my work a matte flat finish similar to gouache paint, and creating the great depth of color that I prefer.

I am influenced by architecture, patterns, graphic design, and anything with a minimalist aesthetic. Having gestated and remixed many abstract styles, my intention is to force a new dialogue inherent to abstraction that started in the early 1900s and continues to be relevant to this day. I hope that when a viewer sees my work they will get a feeling of simplicity, harmony, order, and rhythm.

This work was painted on a smooth gesso wood panel which is cradled with New Zealand pine with a depth of 2 inches. Finished with several coats of satin varnish with light sanding between each one. This process further enhances the matte paint. Signed, titled, and dated on the back. Ready to hang.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, matte medium, gesso, satin varnish
