Intuitive Geometry XXI Painting

I started painting large unstretched canvases in 1966, while a student at Penn State. I used acrylic on unprimed canvas, and the variations in the canvas remain in the finished painting. Painting, design and colour are combined by putting layer upon layer of colour in a drawing manner; the nature and the viscosity of colour are varied by adding more dry pigment (so that it can absorb the layer on top), and at other times by adding more medium. The painting and drawing is combined in a single gesture. Pigments absorb, suspend, and radiate colour, and the surface locates the character and the substance, to make paintings a new kind of object. Light here is not a defining element or a radiating source - it is absorbed and in some canvases enmeshed. Colour stands in a unique position absorbing both light and darkness. In this Intuitive Geometry series, I was dealing with issues of space, gravity, movement. I sometimes staple a painting directly to the wall, or stitch a sleeve and put a rod through to hang it. Either way, the paintings are usually attached only at the top, leaving the canvas free. Some of the paintings are meant to be horizontal or vertical, others could be viewed either way. In the tradition of Abstract painting, they are usually not signed.
