3 dimensional

Sculpture Experimentation is the engine of my creation. While creating abstract paintings, I usually build a three-dimensional sculpture that will become the foundation for the design of the painting. Now the sculpture, itself, becomes the finished object of art (Plate 2). Note that it can only be viewed from the front, similar to a Hollywood set. In Plate 3, you see the three-dimensional sculpture illuminated with a strong light from behind and a dimmer light on the front, producing a mysterious, dramatic effect – Film Noir lighting. The sculpture was then “painted” with warm and cool colored lights (Plate 1), resulting in a limited, elegant, harmonious color range. I have not pursued sculpture of this type as an artistic end in itself, but perhaps in the future, I will.
