color studies

I usually like to work large and wildly gestural, but with all the turmoil of 2020, I just couldn’t muster the exuberance.I felt the need to work smaller and more controlled.

The result is a series of geometric paintings, fourteen in all. I wanted to see how far I could push the color, choosing brighter, more saturated hues than I normally would, and packing them into tight spaces. 

Here are a few of them in visualized spaces. They are 18x18 inches, mixed media on cradled wood panel.  The last image is a quadriptych of the four.
