My paintings are created using acrylic spray enamel on the obverse side of clear co-polyester panels--PETG. They are “obverse” paintings, rather than “reverse” paintings, in that they are not the product of a backward, formulaic process, but rather the result of a creative “dialogue,” action answered by a strategic, intuitive reaction, generated to be viewed through the clear surface. Working from behind is not the equivalent of working in reverse.
Using water, static, objects (found or created), and other masks and influences, I determine shapes and textures, building the paintings, color layer by color layer, overlaying textures and hues. I also use sgrafitto and solvents to clear and repaint areas or to manipulate the laying-on of colors in acrylic and other media, including collage.
Each painting is unique—unrepeatable, by virtue of the technique. After completion, these paintings have been annealed, giving the surface a “fingerprint,” a final mark of distinction. Some paintings are coated with polyurethane to harden and protect the surface.
As with all pigmented fine art, these paintings should be sheltered from direct sunlight, impact, and excessive heat.
