Blu

“Blu is a process-driven series of paintings. A pendulum between abstraction and figuration. A rhythmic narrative will fill the canvases which will expand the medium’s capability to structure the viewer’s experience in a literal-not-pictorial space and time (ARTFORUM, 1975). Spontaneous and dynamic compositions which will explore the interconnections between paint application and movement. Artistic growth, constrained palette and reasoning, less self-conscious. Making art in the present with inherent skills and knowledge, does not need justification, or explanation.”
