ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I was working on a diptych series that explored forms and line in relation to the center line. Some work in the series never crossed the line, but in this series the line crosses and immediately changes into the inverse color. This was painted using a reverse taping method. The blue was painted over the whole panel. Then tape was placed over the entire painting, then the lines were carefully drawn, then cut, and then half of the tape was removed. The yellow was then painted, and then the remaining tape was removed. Please allow 7 days for crate construction.

I have been a painter for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in English Literature with an Art minor. Abington Pennsylvania has been my home with my wife and two children for 18 years. Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs has been my home my whole life. My concentration in the later part of my artistic career has been on painting but I have also enjoyed sculpting in clay, casting work in bronze, and carving directly in wood. I exhibit in local galleries and have had juried shows throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The technical and conceptual elements of painting capture much of my creative energies. Each year I work on several series that challenge me both conceptually and technically. I have been working to develop a balanced aesthetic that emphasizes spatial relationships. I hide the complexity of form behind a seemingly simple and pleasing product. Flattened transparent three-dimensional forms can recede or come forward depending on perspective. I use that concept and color to suggest an outlook but there is no one correct viewpoint. In fact, the use of apparent transparency shows multiple viewpoints at the same time. The universal language of simple geometry is used as a starting point to bring viewers into the conceptual space. I see the individual elements within the painting as a math problem or thought experiment. Once those formulas are accepted by the viewer, he or she can internalize the spatial relationships and thought process. I do not insert a specific narrative into the painting. I want the viewer to recontextualize the work so the subject matter becomes their own.
