Opening tomorrow, Sept.10th 6-8pm @louisbuhl “Sometimes it’s a Flower, Sometimes it’s a weed.” For inquiries, please email [email protected] Hope to see you there! “As Colman explains, “one of the foundational aspects of the geometric figure paintings is the attempt at perfection, a goal almost impossible to reach. That, I think, is relevant to most of us as people, as we often want to give our best while being aware of our shortcomings and our imperfections. It is a very human quality, a quality I like these paintings to represent.” This statement attests to the artist’s process, where initial ideas shift and change throughout the paintings’ development as a result of his trust in intuition, allowing traces of the human hand to illuminate the canvas. More vastly realized is an overarching theme of balance: between measure and instinct; perfection and flaw; figuration and abstraction; chaos and peace—the concept is even materialized literally in the paintings, where bodiless heads rest upon the palms of the central figures. The act of harmoniously marrying opposing forces proves both a constructive principle of Colman’s work and an active element in its formation.”
