Artist’s Statement.

While I most frequently describe myself as a “maker of non-objective art,” I am also compelled to pursue my interest in abstracted imagery, particularly the human figure. My non-objective pieces contain the same level of meticulous individualism in composition, colour, and surface treatment as the figurative, so much so that they have, over the years, become an analogy for each other. This consistency was evidenced in a recent exhibit in which the non-objective canvases were placed adjacent to a series of portraits. In the figurative, face, clothing, and background clearly present as a pretext for achieving coherence paralleled in the fundamental design of the non-objective canvases. In the figurative work, subjects meld abstraction with figuration so that the physicality is secondary to the psychological. The intended result is an emergence of an iconographic rendering of the inner self that becomes the receptacle for the narrative of the non-objective.
