A Look at the Work ®
An abstract composition built around a network of fuchsia and white lines that structure the space with rhythm and balance, like a contemporary stained-glass window.
The painterly texture and layers of ink give the work a very direct physical presence. The palette combines deep blues and purples with more subtle reds and oranges, demonstrating a keen sensitivity to color, composed of nuances, tensions, and luminous harmonies.
Through a play of transparencies, the layers of color reveal the background and enhance the depth of the surface. The work as a whole conveys a sense of movement and vibration. One can perceive in this work the influence of his contemporaries Bazaine and Manessier.
