In the Studio NOW- Building a Square
Building a Square
The SQUARE is stability, strength, balance, peace of mind. I explore the possibilities of this simple geometric shape in my Building a Square series of over 40 paintings. Boldly colored shaped painting-sculptures blur the line between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. My shaped canvases are infused with space evoking a sense of sculptural depth.
I juxtapose bold, vibrant colors to instill energy, next to subtle shades and tones to create depth and nuance. I explore the beauty of simplicity, the complexity of contradictions, and the power of balance. The paintings are acrylic paint and wood dowels on shaped canvas that mount flat on the wall with no need for a frame. Space appears to expand.
My shapes are meticulously controlled, well-behaved geometric structures that exhibit occasional playfulness. I experiment to create shapes that defy the laws of physics and logic. This ambiguity sparks curiosity engaging viewers to connect with the artwork.
