Gathered Painting

I like to take my visual cues from the Colour Field painters and the Constructivism movement with a splash of pop art thrown in for good measure. My current series of work explores the concept of fragmentation. Picking apart and discarding the finer details, manipulating the image and putting it back together in a way that becomes almost unrecognisable. When you zoom into a digital image, it becomes abstract and pixelated, then zoom out, and the image reveals itself. My work captures that image at the midway point when the image is no longer unified, and representative but a series of fragmented geometric shapes held together by commonalities such as colour and form.
