INTERACTION WITH SHADOW AND LIGHT

  Painting puzzle. Surfaces and shapes sensitive to light. Shadow and light relate.  Suggestion and memory.

What type of interaction is possible? What experiences with art do I value? How can I bring my paintings into closer alignment with my own experience?

I begin by taking the painting to an elemental level and consider each aspect.

Color

Surface

Brushstroke

Surface design or motif

Scale

And then most importantly the whole...

That is the painting in its entirety. As seen from a distance and also up close.

In other words something experienced as singular and the parts or details as neither greater or lesser.

 

           Seeking a unity of idea, experience, image.
