"The Reveal - Six Paintings"
Brief Description
These six oil-on-panel paintings reflect the practice of architecture, photography and painting. Content is derived from real architectural spaces, all interiors. The images are based on photographs of "masterpieces" of architecture, by Le Corbusier, Ando, Lebiskind, and so on. The images represent architectural fragments, eliminate scale, and void habitation. In rendering the original architecture through photography and finally as painting, the resulting work is abstract and the images take on a glow and mystery. All the images involve light and shadow, reminiscent of the original architecture, but are separate works of art.
"I am always fascinated by artists/painters that arrive at their work from another art practice. For me, studying architecture, and having that knowledge is never far from the daily practice of painting. I don’t think I can make one kind of painting for the rest of my life, just like I could never imagine life without experiencing architecture, photography, music, and of course painting. They are all inter-connected in inter-disciplinary."
