IT HAPPENED LAST SUMMER- PAUL BRANDEJS
April 16 – 27, 2014
Opening Reception: Thursday April 17, 7-10pm
Process Gallery
I am an abstract artist who works with acrylic and photography on
sculpted canvas. I have studied in Banff School of fine Arts and have a
four year diploma in Fine Arts from Ontario College of Art spending my
last year of study in Florence, Italy, studying under Canadian
Figurative Artist
Tom La Pierre.
My inspiration can come from anywhere. I have been intrigued by the moon
and the night sky or the fluid motion of water. Or how the shadows fall
to create intriguing shapes in the narrow streets of Florence. I look
through the lens of a camera for the abstract in nature.
I use my photography as one of the media to blend the precision of
digital photography with the unpredictability and fluidity of paint. By
applying a variety of acrylic techniques to my photographic imagery I
combine the best of each medium. By exploring my photographic imagery I
isolate the abstract that exists in nature.
I view the shape and texture of the canvas as a catalyst to unlimited
creativity. By combining multiple components into one cohesive piece I
am able to explore yet another dimension to my art. I am fascinated and
intrigued by how far I can push canvas from a traditional square or
rectangle to a new art form.
