Multifaceted and layered with not only physical, but conceptual complexities in every stroke, ‘Where Do I Begin” is indeed an apt encapsulation of the adroit artist’s works. Influenced by great abstract creatives, such as Robert Ryman, and the cultural integrations our globalized world has placed in front of its inhabitants, the artist aims to extend the limitations of the material and aesthetic, incorporating essential artistic elements such as pattern and systematic spacing with unconventional mediums and form that mimic the ordinary in a displaced perspective. From cement screed to woodworked shading, the artist places and displaces, spontaneously applying material and paint to follow the natural textures and variants of his unique canvases. Defying conventional definitions, and exploring the versatility of, layered form, the artist creates space that carries its own imagery, formed by process rather than deliberate extraction from the mediums.
