Lights and Shadows
In Lights and Shadows, I strive to stimulate viewers’ visual sensibilities: Distinguishable forms and shapes have given way to a closely knit surface of rhythmic gesture and relief-like texture. The palette of these works, monochromatic at a glance, opens to subtle color nuances, exposing unexpected variety as light conditions shift over the course of a day. The result is a vibrant interplay of texture and light.
My interest in exploring the essence of painting stands at the core of this approach. From a molecular level up, these paintings are created with a heightened awareness of their layered physicality and the delicate interaction they elicit with the surrounding architecture. By doing so, the painting’s surface, the light it receives and emanates, its touch and feel if you will, rise to the level of subject.
