18X36X1.5 Acrylic on Canvas
Color Theory is an immersive exploration of the emotional and physiological impact of the visible spectrum. Moving away from representational forms, this work focuses on the power of repetitive, mosaic-like mark-making to create a sense of atmospheric depth and vibration.
The composition follows a vertical gradient, transitioning from grounded, deep burgundies and violets into energetic greens, yellows, and finally, a pale, ethereal summit. Each brushstroke is applied with deliberate impasto-like texture, allowing the colors to physically overlap and "chatter" against one another. This technique creates a shimmering, prismatic effect that mimics the way the eye perceives light in nature.
By utilizing an elongated 18 X 36 format, the piece functions as a pillar of light. The 1.5-inch deep edges are painted to continue the color story, making the work feel less like a window and more like a sculptural block of pure pigment. Color Theory is intended to be a restorative piece, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the rhythm of the stroke and the simple, transformative power of color.
