There are twelve people in the Mondrian group and every one of these artist/students has a different approach. We admire each other’s work, but do our own thing. This is enormously satisfying to me.
Here’s Keven Wilder’s first painting of this fall term, oil on canvas, 36” x 36.” The under-painting is red. The red lines were scraped in while the greens were still wet. Making a statement by a process of subtraction is exhilarating. You don’t see this in the reproduction or at a distance. You have to move in close and then the red lines strike like a revelation, which, in fact, they are.
I invite you to see this saying-something-by-not-saying as a key to entering abstraction.
