Collection: Architecture Series

In the Architecture Collection, I bring some unexpected color and details to the buildings around us. These  are the 3 subcategories in the Architecture Series:

1- Art Deco Series 

2- Art Deco Mini-Series.

3- European Series.

The series “Art Deco as Flat Art” paintings, as well as the totem structures, delight in their explicatory charm. The beguiling amount of detailed features and light tinted pastel hues keep the structures from succumbing to straight diagrammatic depictions, as they elevate and personify the architecture. The strong contrasting zigzag horizontal patterns nicely break up the thrusting verticality of this particular image.  Smaller inclusions, such as the tiny hot air balloon at the top, add humor as they are dwarfed in scale by their building structures. I see a strong kinship in your figurative works, which bridge cartoonish animation with more serious and satirical portraiture.  The individual caricatures poke fun at familiar types, but do so in a warm, affable manner.
