| Title | Warp Weft, by Roland Thompson |
| Artist | Thompson, Roland |
| Description | The painting was made first then stretched over a pentagon shaped stretcher. The painting operations are: repetition of line with geometric increase of the spacing between the lines, and anomaly. This work is a reverie in the alignment and deviation of superimposed structures 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. |
