INTRODUCTION

This website is a guide to the paintings and other artwork that I have produced over the last 55 years.  The work included in the site begins in 1966 when I was a graduate student at the Yale School Art and continues to the present. Since 1972, I have lived and worked in my loft on Greene Street in SoHo, New York City, where I have produced hundreds of paintings and other artwork some of which is presented here. The ideas that I explore in my paintings are progressive, one group of work leading to another, and I have written about the journey in a limited way throughout the site. Some work and text appear in more than one section. This section provides an overview. It includes paintings from many periods of my work presented chronologically, the most recent work first. Additional paintings can be seen in both Recent Work and Early Work which are more comprehensive and have some text.

SELECTED PAINTINGS

2024 - 1966

Process has always been a central focus in my work. I am interested in the way I make the painting, how the elements of the painting interact with each other, and how parts of the painting are hidden and revealed. I am continually manipulating different elements in each work to produce a unique visual statement that reflects the language I have developed over many years. The underlying structure of the grid has defined the parameters of much my paintings after I moved away from Action Painting that I explored in my earliest work. The paintings become confrontational with a strong physical presence as they move outward from the picture plane of the canvas. The surfaces are rich with color and texture and often appear to be carved like a bas-relief, with repetition, symmetry and pattern contributing to their vibrating energy as the paintings assert themselves off the wall.
