Colorless Paintings
Overturning the 'endgame theory,' Colorless paintings directly challenge black or white as the final and definitive pigments of abstraction. The paramount significance being that painting's most quintessential characteristic—both color and pigmentation—have been entirely abandoned, rendering painting entirely colorless.
Choosing to work with transparent mediums devoid of any pigment, a method was meticulously developed to allow the transparent silicone, once dried, to organically form its own body without confinement to a specific surface.
The paintings' transparency serves as a poignant reflection of the pervasive permeability defining today's interconnected world. Metaphorically, it also signifies an aspiration for the de-colorization of race.
Exploring the sensations derived from the interplay of light, texture, and void, the artist juxtaposes contrasting translucent and transparent mixes of smooth and coarse gestures amidst void negative spaces. The layered extemporaneous brush strokes, both translucent and transparent, induce pure abstract expression, untainted by the bias of any color.
The absorption of surrounding shifting light and hues enriches the paintings with omniscient and transformative qualities, turning them into ethereal entities that envelop the viewer in a captivating spiritual ambiance.
The "invisibility" inherent in these colorless abstractions parallel not only the artist's inconspicuousness in the art world but also resonates with the plight of the impoverished and marginalized, bereft of socio-economic and political influence.
