To me it's like a great jazz improvisor, the improvised top is based on the more structured bottom. Everyone knows that great improvisation comes from a great knowledge of technique. Can you say Coltrane? I actually purchased one of his painting (it was a choice between the one pictured above and a different one) I love it and it brings me great joy.

Though the artist is using very familiar moves and forms, I see a clear imprint and unique experience. I think that the black ground offers a different capability of depth that is not really illusory or 2 dimensionally restricted. I enjoy the divergent actions in his work. Perhaps it can come off as relying too much on formalism and I doubt that the artist would deny this, but the color palette and forgivable, easily overlooked "accidents" say much about abstraction for me: there is too much argument over formalism and spontaneity that interrupts the pure sensual experience of painting.

Just because I criticized the painting for beginning dark at the bottom and lightening towards the top doesn't mean that I'm prescribing the inverse. That logic makes no sense whatsoever. oh come on.
