Colour Field Painting (Abstract...in that it’s completely outside subject
matter... |
| ...begun in
the late 1940’s and early 50’s, and referring to the work of
Newman, Rothko, Still, and to various subsequent American Painters such
as Louis, Noland, Stella, and Frankenthaler.
I believe, these days, that we are stimulated far beyond our evolution. The sheer volume of images overwhelms us. Colour brings focus and peace to our senses. It is the most powerful tool in a painter’s hands… and for sensitive viewers can have enormous effect on their eyes, psyche, and feelings. Colour Field Painting is meant to be a pure experience
of colour… a contemplative art that forces you to just
look at the joy of absolute colour...a visual un-assault…a
full-immersion, sensual moment for the eye! |
