A N N C O N N E L LY F I N E A R T PAUL YANKO
The densely layered compositions characteristic of Paul Yanko’s painting style are reflective of a desire to reconcile formal painterly concerns with an interest in creating process-derived imagery.

“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. As I paint, I allow shapes to shift in registration in order to reveal varying amounts of underlying color.� - Paul Yanko
Yanko is 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.
