Artist Statement
Seen from above a view of the roof of a Manhattan residential building with a pool and terraces. It tells the story of a certain urban lifestyle and the flattening of the picture plane reduces the details to their graphic essence. It is a place of abandon viewed from on high and isolated from the busy city streets below. More than just a recording of the contemporary cityscape, my paintings are my own interpretation of the essence of these scenes. They combine elements of abstraction and representation, pattern and grid, surface and illusion, as well as observation, imagination, and memory.

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.
