Artist Statement
How do we negotiate the tension between what we conceal or reveal of ourselves in relationships? “Secret World” is one of a series inspired by the songs of Peter Gabriel. Color is my first language on the canvas, and here the push-and-pull of intimacy–the masculine and feminine energy forces– play in bold moves. Recycled papers add texture and suggest the carefully constructed layers we build up as cover.
Vibrant and generous, acrylics allow my work to keep pace with my instincts. Poured, brushed, and applied with a palette knife, the paint, like lovers, has been through thick and thin. It pleases me when the finished piece looks as if no human hand has worked on it– only my will and the unseen elements of time, gravity, and motion.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
