Pamela W. Green
“Polymorphology”
Picasso Gallery June 2010
I paint because I have to. Painting or thinking about painting is an essential part of my day. When I am away from my studio a tremendous longing sets in. I miss the self-absorbed exploration of creating, the exhilaration that serendipity can provide and even the nagging uncertainty about why I am doing what I am doing. My approach is expressionistic. The content is abstract. Anything goes… may be. The joy and the challenge come in harnessing the freedom, winnowing the choices, whittling away at it until a direction rears its head and a statement beings to take shape.
My current work focuses on what so many of us find ourselves doing that is multi-tasking. We overload our days, compartmentalize our needs and allow the daily minutiae to get the better of us. In my paintings the drama of warring colors, shapes morphing in and out, and details clamoring for attention are meant to coalesce and convey my take on life today.
