Description
The aesthetic qualities of stenciled letters and symbols produce a pictorial atmosphere filled with depth and visual tension when scale, spacing, color contrast and traditional orientation are all manipulated to challenge the constraints of the picture plane. Instinctually drawn figures ('blind contour' drawings) simultaneously serve as a point of personal entry into these character-based abstractions as well as a foil for comparing both the relative scale of the figure or object to the text characters within the composition and the depth of the picture plane. The conversations between the figures and characters conceal, reveal, support and distort the underlying concept of ‘blind’ compositions producing unique and unexpected results. – Matt McKinley, curatorMore Info
