Reflections

This body of work concentrates on the depiction of window reflections and urban architecture. The series of paintings are derived from photos I have taken while wandering through Manhattan. My interest lies in a how a window alters the perception of what one sees. I find it visually fascinating and challenging to create what is observed from multiple directions on the surface plane simultaneously.

The work may be characterized as representational bordering on realism. The
intention is not to paint a slickly rendered surface but to show textures and brush strokes. The camera’s lens is tool used to record reality for a brief moment. It gives my process a framework to engage with back in the studio. Gerhard Richter states……” not to use a photograph as a means to painting but as a means of photography – not that it is to imitate photographs but to remake them in paint”
