Today’s painter has a wide variety of materials to work with that make pigment look and feel differently than it has in the past. It is my assumption, that the use of such material is essential in the formation of a contemporary painting. By experimenting with new materials (much like the impressionists of the late 19th century), one might think of formal characteristics of the past in order to have greater opportunity for invention. I feel that it is this type of visual invention is essential for the potency of an image.
