Artist Statement:
An engineer by education and
trade who started painting
seriously after being
overwhelmed with the emptiness
and sterility of the modern
world. Most of the change
occurred during a 10 month,
4700 mile hike of the Eastern
Continental Trail. The
physical and mental hardships
during the journey were fodder
for some serious soul
searching. What started as an
adventure became a major
turning point . It resulted in
a drastic change in life style
and philosophy - a rejection
of the materialistic,
nihilistic modern culture to a
simpler, more conscious life
with an optimistic
philosophical stance.
The painting philosophy
includes:
* Beauty in simplicity -
More emphasis on the basic
shapes of objects than the
details. Thus a human body is
simplified to perhaps a
triangle and a circle. The
design of characters and the
composition are kept simple.
* Non-realism - A painting
is not reality. It is the map
not the terrain. It is a
combination of color that
exposes internal and external
truths. And because its not
reality a realistic style of
painting is not followed.
* Color - This is perhaps
the biggest difference between
other contemporary paintings
and those found here. While
most contemporary paintings
use gray and a limited color
range ...
