Curator’s Comments:

 

Tempest appears to slowly build in visual intensity, with a physical momentum generated from its four outer squared edges.  The painterly surface in the center is viscerally manipulated with impasto strokes, but the muted color palette imposes a sense of quiet over the entire piece.  The soft smudges of orange along the perimeter are quite faint when viewed on screen- I wonder if they have a greater intensity in the actual painted object.  The painting entitled Violet shares a similar aesthetic tension between economic planes of solid, textural color and abraded surfacing.  The thin yellow-gold line splitting the piece in half vibrates in its complementary hued color relationship.  I like the relief the hazy band of turquoise blue provides along the bottom of the composition- acting as horizon and stabilizing color pool.  The perpendicular orientation of these two band s of color crosses the piece and encourages vertical and horizontal movement.  Not overtly a landscape, the piece exhibits an instinctual or celestial sense of geographic poles, as in axis mundi.
