In this exhibit, I presented a group of seven paintings. Each of these abstract paintings provides a viewer with bold black and white forms and vistas to contemplate.
The technical aspects of these paintings involved working toward unique compositions using two dominant colors: black and white. After brushing on several layers of paint, I quickly determined that additional support colors were needed for balance. Also, I decided that thick layers of paint applied with a palette knife created a surface texture that was rich, and full of movement.
