Profil: Painter. Co-director of Parallel Art Space in Queens, NY.
Card: „Repeated chaos creates pattern. My work exists by composing a multitude of meticulously placed and repeated lines in sync to reveal geometric shapes, forms and patterns. Particularly this repeated use of a single unit, like a straight line, to reveal a synchronized effort I find interesting. The overlapping of patterns and matrices create optical illusions with an elusive sense of undefined space, shifting colors, moires and deceptively bending lines. An intuitive approach to color, composition and layering choices counters the almost rigid and systematic way of consistently painting these straight lines. These types of juxtapositions i.e. between approach and methodology, are part of a driving motivation to seek an orchestrated balance, with a single line as the building unit, for an evolving convoluted sense of universe.”
