Artist Statement
My painting Supreme, 2021 is built upon the covenants of Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist art movement which he invented in 1917. His art focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles. The term Suprematism refers to an abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" rather than on visual depiction of objects.
My painting goes beyond Malevich's rules to include more biomorphic shapes fused upon each other to create a more centralized figure. This painting also explores the use of colors which would never be used by the proponents of the original movement.
Again my goal is to create a fusion using components of previous art movements attempting to fashion new interpretations and hybrids.
