Oil painting on canvas
48 x 61 inches
This piece was inspired by the courage to learn to swim as an adult.
The complimentary colours create a mood of tranquility, yet they are ripe.
Like the ability to overcome fear is, when you are thirsty to thrive.
Lanes of brushstrokes and undulating forms create a fluid composition,
expressing freedom in motion.
What is the meaning of here and there in a world where everything is connected? This painting challenges our inability to stay in one space for any length of time. Like the internet, the kinetic composition randomly draws you in and quickly veers off. The viewer has no choice but to slow down, to look at the painting. This is a radical act in an era that worships speed. The bright palette suggests enlightenment to those who stop to see the truth about here and there.
A fresh palette of pastels, this work resolves a storm of spontaneous brushstrokes into a satisfying composition. The bold primaries provide a quiet contrast, creating a peaceful mood of energy in balance.
Inspired by the tincture of urban city lights. Layers of muted and vibrant colours echo the soul of metropolitan nightlife. Compositionally this piece is crowded, like urban sprawl that keeps building on top of itself.
