The gestures, drips, and splashes that unite my work have become increasingly more intricate over time and address viewers in a language that is private, intense, and consistently self-referential. Within the context of abstraction, I am constantly inventing a new vocabulary that employs gesture, form, and notation. The intensity of the color is used as a mystical guide that leads me through the creation process. Spacial planes are created on the painting's surface that offers resting points for viewers to pause before further embarking on a journey of exploration. - Michael Filan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/collections\/michael-filan.oembed","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
