Sneak Peak

Sneak preview of my new work to be shown at 3rd Street Gallery in July 2016

Squares of Space

My latest series of paintings features still lifes in a square format.  Im working with the idea of cropping and skewing images so that the viewer feels a slight tension between the relationships of each element of the still life. In doing so, I strive to create an ambiguous space within each painting.  

I consider my paintings to be contemporary realism with a pop art influence.  I have been preoccupied with square compositions since I started using Instagram.  The ease in which we take photos on our phones, crop them, add filters, etc. has been hugely influential in the way I look at imagery.  A square feels comfortable and complete in our digital world.
