"modern man is in search of his soul"
These paintings are about color, light, and the figure.
Trying to bring all the pictorial complexities down to a very basic cognitive idea.
The figure is broken down to the most simplest form and becomes very abstruse when it interplays with the effect of light and shadows.
The space is as minimal as the figure and thus we become aware of the play of two and three dimensional space.
Color acts as both space and light.
Reluctant to clearly define the figure because more interested in the light that transcends us or that is within us.
Think we try to look beyond the rational and intellectual for something that defies all our expectations.
In our soul searching we hope to find something that defines us or unites us.
This is my poetic interpretation.
