Charles Hope

My work is as much expression as it is an attempt at divination. I paint partly to look for answers, or at least for a way of finding them:

Where are we going? What comes next? Is there meaning in the canvas or board in front of me,
in a few serene colors, in the violence or the glowing sensuality of its lines?

I know that this driving force is both naïve and futile, but it spurs me to keep working, and occasionally rewards me with a glimmer of a solution.
