About the show:
Blockheads and Storied Volumes – Cubism 2.0.
The cube paintings started In May of 2024.
The only constraint I set for myself was to work with 6-inch cubes.
Instead of ‘thinking outside the box’, I would think of the box as both a multi-sided blank canvas and a blank void. This added dimension was intended to get me back to the root of creativity where I could revel in the things that drove me to pursue art in the first place. It did!
I feel most content in the process of exploration, experimentation and delighting in engagement with line shape colour form and the illusion of space. With understanding the rules, and then having no ‘hard rules’, the process becomes play. And with the illusion of form and space painted on an actual form in space (cube) there is an added dimension.
Starting with either a few marks, a word, or a concept, the images evolved. I could explore the sides, design forms to enhance depth, manipulate for distortion or have edges disappear. The shapes change and exaggerate as visual elements are placed together. Engaging challenges arise that ask me to resolve them, especially when going around corners, adding surprise and pleasure to the creative process. I hope that you are pleased and surprised as well! 🙂
Photographs of the artwork for Blockheads and Storied Volumes will be posted in the paintings section soon! Stay tuned or better yet come to the show!
