Artist Statement:
Art Statement
After several years of
study & work I
have finally found a name
for the style
of work that I have been
creating. In
short it is "E.M.P." Which
stands for
Extracted Monochromatic
Portrayals. It
is partially based on the
Piet Mondrain
theory of "Neoplasticism."
All of my
work is based on my
beliefs & theories
on what should take place
while
creating the image. I
often see the
final image in my head
before I even
create it! Which is great!
That way I
know If I have reached my
objective.
I never try to overwhelm
the viewer
with too much unrelated
information. I
do not like to confuse the
eye of my
viewer. I prefer to
capture their eye
with great design and
object placement.
Not with confusing
imagery.
I believe the final image
should be
based in well formed
technique and
theory. When the viewer
can read my
theory and see how it
relates to the
art work. I know I have
succeeded!
