There is a solid core, a body and other elements that sprout from this form.
The works are all the same size, but they appear very diverse in color and composition. The compositions of the paintings are central, so when they are painted from the one side, the paintings are then rotated and ultimately worked on from all the other sides.The paintings are based on a basic experience of perception in motion, scattered and gathered at once, working within an organic geometry as if put in a constantly changing formula.
The works in this exhibition brings oil painting into focus in its traditional form
The brushstrokes and the encounters between the colors are visible, and highlight the concrete physical process in the painting.
The paintings are abstractions. They do not portray anything immediately recognizable. Stressing movement and contrast, the gestural applied colors and forms make for compositions imprinted with a variety of natural phenomena. The tangled lines and convoluted planes that cover the canvas represent, if anything, inner forces of nature.
