Contemporary Abstract Art and Paintings
Lately I have become intrigued by altering pure geometric shapes slightly to infer organic shapes in nature. This painting started as horizontal bands of color. I then started to randomly place cutout pieces of vinyl stencils that I used in other paintings. Through the early summer, the composition created itself, and to me, suggests sea life in a dark nightclub.
I have decided to do a series based on the formula that I randomly discovered last week. It imposes a set of limitations that ironically presents the possibility of countless variations. I like the green created by the transparent yellow over the cobalt blue. I am fascinated by hexagons, such a spiritual and poweful shape.
I am in the process of finishing paintings that have been lingering in the studio for a while. I want to finish their chapters before starting new work. I am excited about the idea for this new series; taking simple geometric shapes and distorting, cropping and then layering. The concept is based on the way we go through a day, the different activities we perform while shifting our core selves to fit the moments. I hope to be starting the first couple of paintings in the next week or so.
