ABOUT THE WORK

This painting is a hybrid between a relief sculpture and an abstract painting. It was done as an experiment on how painted shapes might interact with actual three-dimensional rectangular boxes. Organic shapes and impasto strokes contrast the angles of the boxes underneath the layers of this almost black and white painting. The protruding boxes seem to push out in an attempt to break free from the flat surface of the painting. Paint, much like a wall, hold these boxes down and disguise them.
