Pipeline, by Roland Thompson
Rating
Title
Pipeline , by Roland Thompson
Artist
Thompson , Roland
Description
The operations of this work are simple : proportion , counting , anomaly , and containment . The figure defines the format , the middle of the painting is cut out . My work is a search for enrichment through experience of the unexpected ; and in greater scope , is a dialog with the elusive concept of beauty . Each painting begins with a production plan . It’s a practical measure to get the work going and promote balance , clarity , and moderation . As a work progresses , the image warps to accommodate errors and other anomalies . It becomes a unique interpretation of an ideal . Self-expression in the artwork takes place through color usage and the assignment of titles . I’m more playful in this area to complement the strict nature of the marks .
Medium
Acrylic and wax on aluminum panel, 24” x 24”
