SEMI-SIMPLE: DOT (point), LINE, SURFACE, COLOR AND LIGHT

I use a combination of UV resistant industrial epoxy resin, graphite and acrylic paint on archival tempered wood panel, or acrylic glass panels. The primary intention for this body is to manipulate the basic elements of dot (point), line, color, surface (plane), form and light to create maximum visual impact. My work is mainly inspired by nature, time, space, color, sound, movement, and composition. Lighting plays an important role in the presentation of my work for it maximizes the viewing experience...

COLOR IS APPROXIMATE :: Please note that the colors of the images posted on this blog may be slightly off compared with the original artwork. I strongly encourage you to see the work in person if possible.

Lighting


Photographing this series of work is a challenge for me. The glossy surface and the intricate visual details innate in my objects are hard to capture with any accuracy. Lighting is extremely important for maximizing the viewing experience as well as photographing this body of work. The source, brightness and angle of the lighting changes the appearance of the object. These fine details are usually not noticeable or distinctive in any image reproductions. Since accurate reproduction very difficult, I invite interested persons to view the original creations at my art exhibit or studio/open storage. What could be more satisfying than being able to appreciate a piece of original artwork up close in person.
