Linear Field Print

These new paintings for 2020 invoke some of my most formative and basic virtues of my artistic process- the play between the figurative line and the abstract color. Based loosely in the physical plane, I am pulling from natural fractal lines, industrial cues from the urban landscape, and the infinite play of color in the natural light that we are forced to contemplate and navigate every day. These pieces bring to mind abstract expressionism with their always searching line work, sometimes in charcoal, sometimes in ink; but the work also recalls the color field and grid paintings of the modern era, which fascinates me immensely. The process of the work is always fighting for the surface through brush strokes and scratches, never relenting to polished perfection. Painting will come mounted with picture wire for immediate hanging. Work is not framed.
