I’ve been working on a new series of paintings that are becoming more and more sculptural.
I see these paintings as a combination of the deconstructive process of my more recent work with the flat, coloured shapes of my earlier constructions.
What is interesting about these is that they conform to the rectangle of the canvas frame, but they also defy it. The picture plane is quite literally destroyed, and there are areas where you can see the wall through the painting.
There are four more pieces like this in the works. This new direction is my attempt to use bright, saturated colours in a sophisticated way.
The really exciting news is that I’ve been invited to show these new works at UBCO’s art gallery in September.
