PAUL YANKO
The densely layered compositions characteristic of my painting are reflective of a desire to reconcile formal painterly concerns with an interest in creating processderived imagery. I remain equally influenced by emblems of Modernist geometric abstraction in addition to the characteristically intense, saturated hues found in commercial sign painting and toy construction sets.

Suspended Anchored Supported, 2020 Mixed Media on Paper 30 x 22.5
I develop my paintings systematically through an additive process of layering acrylic paint mixed with acrylic mediums onto masked areas. I initially establish sets of vertical and horizontal bands, applied to either a square or rectangular format, with function as an armature on which subsequent color shapes are layered. - Paul Yanko
