I am captivated and drawn to the human form, the glow and spirit that comes
from within, the character and dimension beneath the surface. To capture this
on larger than life canvases, feels to me, as an intimate and sensual merging of
empathy and paint. The human presence stripped bare of pretense and
accouterments is simply alive, revealing a deeply personal identity, present in
the light of one unique moment.
Although the mind is tuned to see the woman first and drawn to the human form,
in the nudes the impact of the underlaying abstraction, created by the light, fights
for dominance. Cropping closely into the body without emphasis on the face or
eyes shifts the paradigm towards the stark geometry of light and dark that
creates the architecture of the piece.
The subject is revealed as the light weaves through the figure, brushing against
surfaces, announcing volume, creating depth and illuminating the layers and
emotion beneath the surface. I am particularly fascinated where clarity collides
with shadow and recedes into darkness. The light moves through the painting
abstracting and alternately revealing what is truly present.
