Uncovering Contentment Painting

Uncovering Contentment insisted on unveiling itself as I created it (hence the name). Some paintings just take you on their own journey, and this was definitely one of them. It insisted on a natural, worn softness and tranquility. I was still able to incorporate my hard edge aesthetic in the design, but that aspect certainly takes the background in this piece. This painting is framed in a german silver aluminum floater frame. As framed, the painting is 37x37x2 Inches. The painting itself is 36x36 Inches and is finished with many isolation coats and several layers of professional removable satin/matte polymer varnish. Despite their names, my art is nonobjective. I am inspired by texture, happenstance and the patina of worn surfaces; natural and manmade. I see grace and nostalgia in their visual history. I think this sensitivity allows me to approach my work with an uninhibited perspective on aesthetics, using color and visual texture as the primary elements in my geometric compositions. Each painting takes me on its own journey in which I intuitively listen and respond, incorporating of a variety of techniques and countless layers of acrylic and mixed media, constantly accumulating and reducing the applied materials until each piece finds its own end.
