Teach Me to Forget
"...a gloriously semi-abstract work...(that) won the favor of us all." Don Archer, Director, Museum of Computer Art, Brooklyn, NY
Teach me to Forget was recognized with an Honorable Mention at the Inaugural Exhibit of the Museum of Computer Art in Brooklyn, New York at their new museum gallery. The exhibition, featuring 92 images by 57 artists from 17 countries, ran from September 2 – 18, 2008.
In my work, I capture the landscape photographically and reshape it for expressive purposes. Here I have endeavoured to interpret powerful emotion by evoking the grand compositional gestures and intense colour purity of 19th-century Romantic painters. The romantic style of painting emphasized colour and spirit, in contrast to the neoclassical tradition's focus on expert draughtsmanship, purity of line and cool detachment. Read a brief description of the compositional concerns of Eugène Delacroix, the foremost French Romantic painter who influenced the French Impressionists with his colour theory.
