Summer Burn

I recently rediscovered a collection of rocks from my father's collection and it reminded me of the fun we had looking at the shapes and sometimes splitting them to look inside. It was also on a trip to Iceland a few years ago I visited a private rock collection which had many thousands of rocks laid out all through the garden and house. So ... this one is my abstract impression of the chalcedony or agate inside a thunderegg.

My usual approach to my artwork is to re-imagine the world around me and try to capture this on canvas through the use of colours, shapes, patterns, brushstrokes and marks.

“Suburban Deconstruction” explores the fragmented reality of suburban life through an abstract lens. This painting breaks down the structured order of neighborhoods, transforming houses and lawns into a series of overlapping shapes and muted colors. The geometric yet haphazard placement of these elements creates a sense of organized chaos, capturing both the complexity and monotony of suburban existence.

This artwork is unframed, has wire and d-rings ready to hang, has the artist's name on the front, and is signed and stamped on the back.

I chose this title because it was the first thing that came to mind when I viewed the completed work.  However, I feel that naming expressionist works tends to predispose the viewer to a certain mindset.  I would much prefer that people interpret an artwork based on their on perspective and whatever feelings or thoughts it may generate for them.
