AMERICAN ABSTRACT PAINTER

THESE WORKS SERVE AS INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ARCHITECTURE OF HUMAN VALUES, AND THE VISCERAL MECHANICS OF ETHICAL CONTRADICTION.

Utilizing the potent materiality of oil, each piece confronts the inherent dissonance of the contemporary condition—transforming internal conflict into a commanding, unified visual architecture.

From the environmental inquiries of Space to the structural tension in Shaping the Edge, the practice remains a rigorous engagement with the tension of opposites. This dialogue continues in my current work, where the line serves as a discourse of division, utilizing the directness of oil sticks to navigate the productive power of uncertainty.
