“Restlessgullness, Andre”

I have always admired the eyes relationship to color. The shapes that reach outside of the two dimensions we craft and how colors glow electric around certain others. I don't deal much with subjects, most art I think is way too literal. I want to find the energy of the paint itself. I seek to honor the beauty of the eye by letting the paint paint, and "seeing" what happens. My process pays homage to the random, I choose colors without looking and I employ different "tools" found throughout my day. Everything counts when I'm making art, not necessarily to shock the viewer but to invite them. I want you to look deeply into the details of my orchestration. I paint the textures and profiles of everything I've ever seen, mixed into a whirling stream of conscious markings around the space, there are chaotic rules to this process and they are followed diligently. A mistake could become a pattern that works into the composition, all is valid. I work to awaken these images, to find the detail that shakes the whole, sometimes returning to older pieces years later to add a much needed pop. I'm honored to be surrounded by people and circumstances that have brought me here to this place in my life where I can make shots in the dark towards what we can all call beauty. I am a painter and I appreciate your attention.
