Suprematism is an early twentieth-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles). The term itself refers to a form of abstract art based on the supremacy of pure artistic expression rather than on a visual or literal depiction of objects. It is entirely subjective and gives room for the artist to present what they think or perceive versus what they may see.

I recently reworked the colours a little on this piece for an upcoming show at Propeller Gallery in Toronto.

the colors weren’t on the wall, not really. they were only visiting—just long enough to confuse memory with presence. silence held everything still, except the shadows, which spoke in diagonal lines. someone had planned this, but the light made it feel like chance.

8 cm x 22 cm, construction paper and foam shapes. I did this piece with my daughter at the Art Gallery of Ontario
Separation. Displacement. Asunder.
A boundary. A union. A contradiction.
Diremptio is incongruity and antithesis, in agreement; two planes in the same space separated by form, shape, color, depth, meaning; each a stilled moment in its own time joined in common boundary by a contrary moment, like fingerprints on a window, unique, separate, together.
An ongoing series.

When contemplating this facade, I was immediately struck by this black structure with golden edges that seemed to float against the concrete, like a musical score etched into matter. I wanted to capture this duality between the mathematical rigor of the architecture and the almost poetic dimension created by the rhythmic repetition of elements.
The soft daylight allowed me to reveal the subtle variations of blue in the raw concrete, creating a cold yet living backdrop for these black blades with their warm edges. I chose a frontal, uncluttered framing to transform this portion of architecture into a visual abstraction close to painting.
In this quest for the essential, I sought to transcend the purely functional nature of the building to reveal its sculptural and meditative dimension. What fascinated me was the tension between the horizontality of the lines and the ascending movement of the whole - as if these black and gold strata were levitating, defying gravity and transforming concrete into a canvas for contemporary architectural calligraphy.

Brutalism • Reimagined
Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial styles of architecture to exist. It’s what people imagine when they think about what a prison looks like, with its cold and imposing exterior. Brutalism is also what people typically picture when they think of government buildings or schools built in the 1950s-1960s.
Brutalist style is known for its heavy, imposing appearance. If there’s one word that can sum up the entirety of brutalism, it’s the word “concrete.” The style came as a response to the sleek and polished Moderne style popular during the early 20th century.

Didn't have a clue that this image is a mix of suprematism / minimalism / geometric abstraction when I shot this wall in Perth, Western Australia, in the late 1970s. Don't you just love Kodachrome?
no one plays here. not anymore. the court has turned holy, a chapel of color and silence. shadows rest on painted shapes like relics laid out for inspection. the chain hoop, rusted and delicate, trembles not with wind but memory. this is not a game. this is worship.
Invervallum is Latin for interval. The title is descriptive of the series that explores spacial 'intervals' and relationships with other objects in proximity, as well as with the negative space surrounding them.
Indeed, we all have 'intervals' in our personal lives that we experience in our relationships, our work, with family, and even within ourselves.
For me it begs the question of what guides us into, through, and out of such periods when we experience distance and separation.
Recently the city planted a Kentucky Coffee Tree out front of our place. It is a beautiful tree. As I was laying down the numbers on this painting, I was often thinking about the tree. I love to observe the changes in plants and trees over time.
