| Description |
The paintings in this exhibit are the result of two years of exploration dealing initially with landscape and then primarily with the figure. Looking back, the challenges were similar regardless of subject: first, how to expand the subject beyond an "objective" reality more or less faithfully represented into a subjective, imagined world of its own; and second, how to achieve an active painted surface wherein the paint itself has a life independent of the illusion. Along the way, the importance of playful use of the imagination became evident. |
