In this painting workshop, we will explore the relationship between perception and different modes of abstraction. Through intensive studio work students will explore the possibilities of painting while responding to perceptual experiences. The studio will become a place of inquiry utilizing various methods to affect the outcome and aesthetic and visual reality of painting; e.g. simplification of form, flattening of space, imaginary color, etc. Studio activity will be informed by presentations, discussions and critiques. The goal is to create sophisticated paintings that are grounded in perceptual experience and move into an abstract pictorial language.
