Abstract expressionist paintings leaning towards surrealism. Reductionist approach to composition, the tension arises from the struggle to eliminate the unnecessary while still uniting the pictures in an overall unified atmosphere. I am attempting to create a story or more accurately an epilogue, to invite the viewer in and allow a personal interpretation.
In the latest abstract expressionist series, my goal is to continue the evolution of my initial painterly approach towards more atmospheric or surreal one . I wanted to still use line and gesture as the initial “scaffolding’ of the picture however in the latest series my aim is more towards creating depth and luminosity, and approach the issue from a storytelling point of view.
