Triple Blue Twist Diptych #5 37″X20″

Triple Blue Twist #5 37″ X 20″ or 45″X16″(depending on configuration)

The challenge and puzzle of creating this work was in making it arrangeable in three configurations by uniting each loop with it’s corresponding pinstripe on one panel with the other.Both are symmetrical and a product of a short series I did along this theme a couple years ago.The medium is acrylic on canvas along with modelling paste

Modern Icon #2 36″X48″

Modern Icon #2  Acrylic on canvas 36″X48″

This painting is a composite icon of an apostle,angel,shepherd  and Christ figure combined and reinterpreted in a modern style that takes it’s basic geometry from Byzantine iconography combined with the impression  that of stained glass in relation to it’s cell structure.Gold leafing was used on the highlights.This was a commissioned work and at the clients request  is a little more figurative that what I am accustom to creating. All the same I am very happy with the results and  being Greek in origin it was a pleasure  to reinterpret something  that is reflective of the culture that I was raised in

Espresso Mocha Yin and Yang #3

Espresso Mocha Yin and Yang #3 20″ X 24″

This is a earlier work on the yin and yang theme using coffee colours. Completely pop art in style reflective of the general pop interest interest in both Zen Buddhism and Coffee.Very whimsical and humerus.

Featured in the upper right corner is the Italian flag in reference again to the coffee.

Colored Strata #32

Coloured  Strata  #32  16″ X 20″ acrylic on canvas

This is another strata that incorporates splines and circles and the typical contrasting warm and cool colours. I like to contrast the warm and cool colours vividly with some earthier hues to soften the transition within the composition. Note that the spline is a single line if you use your eye to trace it that will take you on a journey across the whole canvas.

Homage to Keneth Noland

Homage to Kenneth Noland    #1 12″X46″ acrylic on canvas

I have been an admirer of Kenneth Noland’s Targets for a very long time and decided to do a piece extending one of his targets horizontally over three panels.I painted these using a textured cell structure and underlying geometry to give continuity to the composition.

Inverted Spectrum #16

Inverted Spectrum #16

This is one in a long series of works that I have painted in this series over the last couple years the one panel has been mirrored then inverted then fractured  to compliment the composition and keep the transition interesting. The two opposing spectral scales naturally  for a warm coo l contrast to  the composition making it more vibrant.

Dynamic Terrestrial Stratum

Dynamic Terrestrial  Stratum  20″X20″  acrylic on canvas

This is a work of earth and slate tones that interplay with  layered strata and curvilinear splines  and diagonals in juxtaposition  with one another and the raw texture within each cell

One and One Half Diptych

One and One Half Diptych 30″X50″ acrylic on canvas

Abstract composition of contrasting vivid colours mimicking stained glass is reminiscent of the Bauhaus and Popart movements in feel and a lively composition.

Violet Magenta Composition

Violet Magenta #3 16″X20″ acrylic on canvas

This painting contrasts the warm Magenta with cool violets with highlights of blue and red using a free form composition of splines.
