Murmurations No.15 Painting

Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world. (Hans Hofmann) Number 15 from an series of 21 paintings made between December 2019 and May 2022 made with pigment and oil overlaying a gum tempera medium on plywood panels. Each panel is a unique shape derived from a formula that has 21 solutions. The title refers partly to the geometrical patterns formed when some birds (starlings) flock together, a phenomenon caused by the bird’s constant attempts to avoid the vulnerability of being on the outside of the group. There is an element in these pictures where the curve that forms part of the exterior of the panel is used as a repetition internally; this is meant to serve as a ripple effect or an echo or wave.
