| 关于此艺术家 |
Painting across color, line, rhythm and vitality, I create abstract paintings that are purely related to finding ideal balances of emotion and perception. Analogies between color and music are always present as music is my constant painting companion. I often liken my color relationships to musical scales or filaments in constant motion. I’m concerned with juxtaposing a grid or system of straight lines with gyrating curved lines in ways that uplift the senses with color, luminosity and movement. I feel this merging of linear and curving forms corresponds to the way motion occurs in human constructs such as cities and transportation systems. We’re placed within predetermined structures or grids where movement is circumscribed and yet there is fluidity in the manner by which we navigate these systems. The natural and the constructed forms do a perpetual dance of aspiration and ascension. |
