Unintended Renaissance I Painting

Unintended Renaissance I is one of the first paintings to begin my Organization Series, pushing my materials to their extreme, and incorporating control and fluidity. The scale of the open planes of implied texture is worn, warm and intriguing, recognizable but unknown. This painting is framed in a satin black aluminum floater frame. As framed, the painting is 49x49x2 Inches. The painting itself is 48x48x1.5 Inches.This painting is finished with several coats of a professional permanent satin/slight gloss varnish. Despite their names, my art is nonobjective. I am inspired by texture, happenstance and the patina of worn surfaces; natural and manmade. I see grace and nostalgia in their visual history. I think this sensitivity allows me to approach my work with an uninhibited perspective on aesthetics, using color and visual texture as the primary elements in my geometric compositions. Each painting takes me on its own journey in which I intuitively listen and respond, incorporating of a variety of techniques and countless layers of acrylic and mixed media, constantly accumulating and reducing the applied materials until each piece finds its own end.
