Abstract Series 38 – Abstracting the abstract
Abstract Series 37 – Abstracting the abstract
When I am in my painting studio I abstract what I see and feel onto canvas.The paintings are tangible, somewhat reproducible and their images are concrete.
When I am behind the camera, the abstractions I create exist in the real world only for a fraction of a second. They are not tangible, they typically cannot be reproduced, nor will they ever exist again. The image capture only exists on my digital media, and although I can make infinite numbers of exact duplicates of the images, I cannot reproduce the same shot.
This series of photographs are abstractions of the paintings I am currently working on, and they extend the objective of my work on canvas to a new level. By abstracting my own abstract paintings I can extend the original intent of my work on canvas in a way that is not only unique, but is also unachievable with paint and pencil.
The photographs focus on small sections of my paintings that I didn’t notice while looking at the painting as a whole, and when isolated and abstracted, these parts create a completely different tone than originally intended. By adding light variances and motion to the photographs, I have created new works of art. This art, originating from parts of greater objectives, now stands on its own.
As these paintings are in mid stream, they will change with every new brush stroke, therefore I will never be able to reproduce these photographs, making them truly unique. I am very happy with the results of this exercise and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
