David A. Kidd
My paintings are
process driven. The physical act of painting has a strong influence
on the direction that the painting will ultimately take .While I may have a general concept of what I want to
convey, my desire is not to let that preconceived idea limit or
constrain me. The repetitive and random application and removal of
paint creates element s and patterns that serve as a visual roadmap.
From my perspective, I want the act of painting to be a process of
discovery. A balance between the urge to control the surface of the
painting and the desire to allow mystery and unpredictability to
enter into the process. The play of positive of positive and
negative spatial relationships also influences my work, as well as
visual imagery. Currently my paintings incorporate more visual
references. The context of these images infers a correlation or
relevancy meaning based upon their own personal experiences.
