ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Large Format Archival Epson Ultrachrome GS Print on Canvas, Edition of 3 Note: edition number 1 sold Reformabit 4 represents a journey of the coming together of my creative side with my analytical, mathematical and engineering side that comes from my architectural background. The work suggests a vocabulary of an engineering drawing as an abstracted industrial machine. They are studies of relationships of geometric parts all working together to make a dynamic, working system. This is a metaphor for wellness. About my Prints: Not being able to paint the pictures in my imagination due to my disability from a spine disease, the digital print is the medium to transpose my work and like a painter, I wish it to be viewed for generations. This is of the utmost concern to me. I find it critically important to assure collectors that my prints are truly archival and of the very best quality and the only way of insuring that is to have complete control of the printing process. All of my work is printed by me with help of assistants in my home studio with state of the art fine art digital printer technology. My digital prints are of the highest archival quality and the absolute best in the industry, using the best equipment, inks and substrates. For my canvas prints, I use the Epson GS6000 64 inch wide large format solvent printer. Engineered for the fine art market, it has 8 ink cartridges, adding green and orange to the array of the standard black, yellow, cyan, light cyan, magenta and light magenta colors and offers an incredible dmax and color gamut which means it can reproduce rich blacks and vibrant colors extremely accurately. For me, color fidelity is critical because of the vibrant colors in my work. My canvas prints are printed on Urth Canvas, gloss. Made by Breathing Color, it’s the most advanced inkjet canvas in the industry, meets and exceeds the standards set forth by Fine Art Trade Guild (FATG) and is compatibly tested for use with the Epson GS6000 printer. Unlike aqueous water based pigment prints on canvas which require problematic applied or laminated UV coatings, my canvas prints with Epson UltraChrome® GS Ink technology in combination with Urth Canvas has UV protection built in and a UV laminated coating is not required nor recommended. I have exhibited my work widely in solo, group and Juried Exhibitions. My work is in many private collections and corporate collections, among them the Cleveland Clinic and Herman Miller. Three of my works have been acquired by The Frost Art Museum in Miami, a Smithsonian affiliated museum.

(b. 1961 – Miami Beach, FL) I was an architect first, having studied at Pratt Institute and practicing for over 20 years when in 2005, a progressive spine disease left me disabled and unable to continue practicing. I reinvented myself as an artist working in the realm of digital media. Because of my disability, I work digitally. At my age, I straddle two worlds, the analog of the past and the digital of today. Working digitally, I question how the digital modality of creating works of art, being in its infancy relative to the history of art, relates to the history of creative expression. Art and technology is converging in our time. For me, technology as a tool empowers my creative spirit. As my work resides in the realm of virtual computer code, I like to think of the code being the artworks DNA and embedded in this code is the soul of the human element that created it. My architecture never left me. It lives on in my artistic practice. It informs me; always thinking about structure, color and rhythm. Creating geometric constructs offers me a form of invention that challenges me both analytically and creatively. Each work is a formal exercise layered on top of a creative one, revealing the duality of my brain. My architectural/engineering brain deeply rooted in my work is now manifesting itself in a new creative process I call “3D Derivatives”. The idea of an artist being derivative often has a negative connotation, as being imitative of another artist. But I’m using this word in a different context; that of something that is derived from a source, in this case the source being a 3d model. Geometric structures are emerging in my 3d explorations as if architecture is being transformed into artwork. My work has been exhibited in the United States in solo and group exhibitions including a solo exhibition at the Frost Art Museum. My work is in private, corporate and institutional collections, among them the Permanent Collection of the Frost Art Museum in Miami and the Cleveland Clinic Art Collection. My work in public art includes a permanent installation at the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland and most recently I was commissioned by the Cleveland Public Library to create “QUADRATALUX’, a 10 x 30 foot art wall for one of its branches as part of the library’s “SEE ALSO” public art initiative.
