Beginning July 20th at the NRCC project space here in North Bay, ON I have a series of works that deal with the subject matter of entropy and art.
These works are predominantly abstracted watercolour, pencil and acrylic. The spontaneity of the art is partly due to the fluid movement of watercolour on paper; a fine balance of order and chaos. Entropy in artistic terms has been an interesting reaction. Based on a thermodynamic theory within physics, artists have played with this idea since the 60s. Deforming and desolving artistic traditions and techniques has been a focus of mine lately and this new body of work highlights that.
I stuck with a cooler colour palette for this show, working with blues and greens and some pops of pink. I think that despite the movement within each piece they have a overall calming feeling to me. The colour helps create that sensation. I’m really proud of these works and hope you enjoy them as well.
I haven’t had much time to document the show but once I do I’ll have these images for sale on the website. The show is up until August 15. Thanks for your support. B
