Artwork Description:

abstract grid with reference to reality. My paintings can be categorized as abstract, but with a reference to realism. The subjects come from magazines and newspapers, this allows me to continue to portray the contemporary world as I see it. The grid flows spontaneously and freely over the surface of the canvas, with lines of specific dimensions related to the size of the canvas. Some have interpreted this criss-cross of lines to be similar to the paintings of Brice Marden. The difference is that he paints these lines going around the canvas and going over the other lines of different colors. My lines, as they flow, tell a story, a real story. You can look inside these lines and follow to the next intersection, something realistic appears. You can stop and actually see what it is, then continue on to the next stop and something else will appear. So looking at my paintings from a distance the overall grid pattern is abstract, but looking at them close up, you can see very realistic forms inside. I would define my work as : Hyper-Realistic Abstractions. John O. Gentile
