Coming Apart Painting

"Coming Apart" is an intimate graphical work from the process art series titled “Passages” where I employ the art of cut-out to build diverse imagery while accentuating the subtle confluent artifacts found within thin layers of paint. This painting is acrylic on paper, it's finished with a layer of smooth acrylic medium, and is signed on the front and back. The size listed refers to the image size on a 7 1/2" X 10" sheet of paper. This work is sold unframed packaged in an archival crystal clear bag and is shipped in a tube. For the past 20 years I’ve been creating non-objective abstract artworks to explore transcendentalism. My images have a clean minimal aesthetic which depict hard edged geometric configurations imbued with vivid colours. The inherent objectless architectonic harmony of my pictures was devised as a solution to the burdens of modernity (being restlessness and relentless distraction.) These works aim to both puzzle and engage the eye of the viewer while minimizing distraction. My hope is that the observer becomes entranced leaving one’s heart agape so his/her attention can gracefully settle into experiencing the ineffable witness state. As the serene equanimity of observance subsides, the beholder emerges with a sensation of renewal. Often the witness also retains a lingering notion and/or familiar feelings from which a narrative may be gleaned. This whole process may happen in an instant, or may be prolonged, but it is generally of a pleasing nature.
