Urban Cityscapes
My most recent body of work is composed of urban cityscapes. I’m attracted to colorful, semi-abstract glimpses of people moving through space. In the cityscapes I paint, I capture fleeting moments of light and color as they scatter across the picture plane. Shadow shapes merge with simplified geometric forms that occasionally collide in perspective. I take viewers on a journey down streets and sidewalks to engage them with the shadows and textures that surround them. I convey such images through fragmented skies, punctuated by umbrellas, signs, telephone poles, and wires - all indicators of the texture of life all around me. In our fast-paced world, my goal is to get people to slow down and SEE the gritty textures of the city where I live and of those where I travel.
