Artist Statement:
More information at the
official Tom Curtis Website at
www.tomcurtis.net Please feel
free to contact me with
comments or questions. I may
not be prompt, but I WILL
reply.
My work involves an intuitive
and energetic exploration of
form, color, line and
juxtaposition.
This exploration involves
ritualistic processes as well
as scientific inquiry, chance
and humor.
I am particularly interested
in the tensions developed
within multiple levels of
concurrently occurring natural
systems, processes and how we
are affected by them. This
especially includes patterns
found in erosion and growth.
I believe that the study of
these highly complex sublimely
ordered logical processes may
serve to inform science and
spirituality providing deeper
insight into the mysteries of
life and our place in the
universe.
Within this perspective, paint
becomes more than just another
medium, for me it is an
alchemical sacrament.
