Description

My work is primarily conceptual with elements of abstraction and sculpture incorporated into it. I use these elements to destroy the traditional definitions of artist hand and industrial materials by taking my abstract paintings, cutting them up and reassembling them in a new way. I achieve the result by utilizing oil paint, acrylic paint, metal mesh and canvas, which I transform into one surface. My goal is to create an abstract canvas utilizing oil sticks and acrylic paint, combining two opposite elements to create an expanse of color and texture. Then I weave them to create a checkerboard of chaos and order with metal mesh or paint the mesh to the canvas. Others are left as is and stretched.
