Description
Artist's Statement - I'm drawn to so-called "painterly" painters, whose interest is less in the formal aspects of painting than in the paint itself, and signs of the artist's hand in its application. Initially I was attracted to paintings from the magical period between New York Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly. In the 80s, it was New York neo-Expressionists. In the past few years my paintings have become more formal, but you can still see a lot of the hand in them.
"These paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world's seemingly endless parade of passages of color with Twomblyish drawing providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of "safe" style. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist." ArtSeen, 2018
