I am now in the midst of preparations for my annual show at the West End Gallery in Corning, NY. It opens July 20 running through August 31 and is titled In Rhythm, the same title as the painting shown here, a 24″ by 36″ piece on canvas. I often talk of rhythm here on this blog, most often about the rhythm of the composition’s elements, how they play off the energy of each other to create harmony. I feel that this painting captures that aspect of rhythm well and would be a great piece to set the direction for this show.
But I also speak of rhythm in terms of the process, about being immersed in the act of painting. This annual midyear show comes always while I am deeply entrenched in my painting and I felt that the term in rhythm fit in this aspect as well.
Below is another piece from the show, Simplex, a 10″ by 30″ canvas. It has its own rhythm, a very direct one that is crisp and clean.
