Scarf Painting

"Scarf" 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. The painting is acrylic on clear gessoed 10 duck canvas. Its' signed on the back, sold unframed, packaged in an archival crystal clear bag, and is shipped in a tube. This picture can be float mounted, matted, or placed in a 11"X8.5" frame with or without glass. 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.
