This series of compositions explores the geometric elements: Point, Line, Plane and their expressive qualities. These compositions are inspired by Kandinsky’s abstract paintings: The point which is the beginning of a shape, the line which has a direction, and the plane which creates a space, are the most basic building blocks of composition; everything else is made of these fundamental forms. Image, energy, rhythm, visual language, and emotional impact all begin with point, line, and plane. A mass of points forms a line and lines become planes. Line exhibits an immediate sense of intention and belief. The encounters between lines, planes, colors, textures, and geometric forms on an asymmetrical grid radiate energy from within. This compositional series is imbued with the power of point, line, and plane, combined with subjective effects created by their orientations and various formal qualities.
