"Tonal Abstraction" oils on canvas
Opening Reception: Friday, September 3, 6-9 pm
These paintings are both nostalgic and contemporary. They are naïve enough to believe that art can sustain the human soul, that it can embrace both uncertainty and complexity while acknowledging the erosion of solidity and appearance as the basis of the work. Arising from the tradition of inner necessity in abstract painting, they admit to the hesitancy of a discomforted soul. They also have lotsa colours!
