Gestures and Geometries: Andrew Paterson Recent Paintings

About

These paintings share a visual architecture built upon the interaction between overlayed and interwoven fields of colour, gesture and geometric design. Elements and operational modes are drawn together from Japanese and Islamic calligraphy, gestural and hard edged abstraction, graffiti, screenprinting, and the geometries of Moorish design and the aperiodic Penrose tilings. Tension is set up between the considered and the spontaneous. Dissonance is resolved at times through colour harmonics and at others through geometric rhythms. True resolution though, in these seemingly busy paintings, is eventually to be found in the stillness and space that lies at the heart of their implied harmonies, within their unpainted colours.
