PAINTED DRAWING
Painted Drawings are rhythmic structures of sensory experience. More intuitive than intellectual, the orbits have a motion that feels both ancient and primal, immediate and futuristic. The paintings capture the spontaneous energy pursuing its course with lines suggesting the space between the things. In a confluence of swirling halos going from one object to another the flux lines make forms of their own identity.
This group of paintings came out of a desire to work on a less solid surface than the panels I normally use. They explore that moment before contact, the in between of two things coming together. I restricted myself to a traditional black / white / mid-ground palette to render form and space, field and ground.
“The more simple the lines and forms the greater the beauty and power”
- Ingres, 1808
