Text for the exhibition “Field Line”.

The concept, thought and mathematical logic.

The painting that begins with understandings and pictorial questions, and is crystallized into action. I go out into the landscape as a painter with a place, observation is the initial action. Action in place simulates the act of scanning — horizontal and vertical, an experience of observation as reproduction, drawings of line and movement directly on the canvas, a transparent action, an initial action on the canvas – is the completion. In the studio, a painting is built gradually, moving away in time from the initial stage, practical points of color and spreading across areas, in an attempt to preserve the presence of the initial object with the ongoing action of subtraction. A quiet distance is created; the whole is the tone, sound and movement. Every action strives to preserve the whole.

Color is a slow way of discovery; transparent lines in the landscape on the canvas. The subtraction is covered with a bar.
