Geometric Abstract Painting

Geometric Abstract Paintings

Throughout my art practice, I seem to weave in and out of geometrics in one form or another. Sometimes it is in the form of blocks of colored glass embedded in one of my concrete sculptures. At other times an entire painting consists of only squares of bold color. I am sure that my love of math, especially geometry, has something to do with a subconscious pull to this visual need to use shapes in my art work.

During the pandemic, I have returned to bold usage of geometrics in various forms, even recently including minimal figural shapes painted prominently in the geometric paintings. I love combining geometrics, color and minimalism all in one visual painting on canvas.

Even though I will work on this series for a while, I still occasionally revert back to another series that I keep going, such as my lyrical abstract series. Sometimes I paint on smaller, stretched canvases and at other times the paintings are on large, unstretched pieces of canvas that I attach to the wall to work on. I use a variety of paints, including acrylics, enamels and house paints.

Large Canvas Paintings

Since November 2019, I have started working on a new series of large paintings on canvas. Although it can present a challenge, it is a very freeing experience. It’s hard to go back to small but the expense and room needed to continue to create large format canvases can make it difficult. But I am a big believer of the old adage “Go Big or Go Home!” It’s that time in my life to pursue big!

These large abstract paintings are still colorful but I have added a twist of random, gestural lines rather than my intuitive line work. Titled my Constellation series, these paintings feature fun, yet whimsical images that I define constellations one might find in the galaxy. It’s a surreal representation of reality.
