Item Special Note
Artist Statement: Often emerging from my abstract paintings are places of mystery. "Under A New York Bridge" evokes the patterns & sounds, the grit & grandeur of the seamier side of New York City. My recent play with light, shadow & a very limited color palette invites the viewer, in the words of art writer,Mark Van Proyen, "to see these works as contemplations of the Sublime." In 2014, I created two series of abstract small works on Paper, representing a significant, albeit temporary, departure from my trademark large scale canvases. In part, I am revisting my painterly roots as a self-taught watercolorist, now with introspection & the experience of a life well-lived. "Under A New York Bridge" is from the yet untitled series created while I was visitng my native Chile in the Spring of 2014. With a career as a painter spanning more then 50 years, I have created & shown my work in many parts of the world. Although I have lived off & on in the San Francisco Bay Area for most of my adult life, I have been an enigma in the Bay Area art scene. As I am now 71 years of age, I am looking for that to change.
