Matin D'Avril AB2217

This series of works are pure abstracts and each individual will ultimately see something different in each piece.
This painting for me is about the spring light in April across a distant meadow. There is something truly beautiful about pure abstraction, it is arbitrary and personal in the same breath.

My textural abstract work comes from an accumulation of years of exploring texture and color relationships. Each piece is comprised of layers of oil paint, using no medium, and left to dry before the application of the next layer. These paintings are reflective of the many layers we all possess within the totality of being human. Each event, each tragedy, and each joy leaves a mark. This has been a theme throughout all of my various styles of artistic expression. But I find the palette knife/squeegee work to be the most honest in its seemingly random happening that results in a beautiful tapestry of color, form, and shape.
