This Page, above, Two Figures (blue) 1, oil on linen, 14” x 20”
My work has embraced several genres – figures, abstracts, occasional portraiture, and landscape, in the latter instance with a focus on architectural subject matter in particular. Over the years I have moved away from images driven by narrative content (a description applicable to most of my figures), to those exploring composition, color and form. Many of my landscapes are anchored by architectural subjects, which allow me to
center my interest on form, light and composition, with less stress upon the particulars of a given locality. Thus it is with architecture that I can feel most abstract. What drives the image is the array of shapes and how they occupy the picture plane,
rather than whether a building or road happens to be in France, Spain or England. Since architectural subject matter lends itself to the composing of forms within a space, I have over the years returned again and again to the same buildings to produce closely related images."
Above all coherence and harmony are my goals, and I never tire of striving for them.
