Time gentlemen, please.
This series explores the development of aestheic quality as an inadvertant by-product of painting in a purely functional manner. A requirement to cover a surface with paint and the system of doing so - making one mark after another, each adjacent to the previous - can yield energetic and dynamic abstract compositions if the task is arrested earlier than its practical nature dictates. My intention is for these paintings become successful, pleasing abstract compositions that have developed naturally, reducing the need for preconceived aesthetics as far as possible.
