Yoram Shalmon
I studied, worked and raised a family in Canada since 1982.
From an early age I have been creating a wide range of works in various mediums.
While in Toronto, I work on large canvases. While away, I works in pencil and chalk on paper.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
For me art creation is a slow process, despite of the enjoyment and satisfaction that it brings.
Initially, my approach was controlled seeking figurative subjects such as models. Lately, I work
with abstracts ideas, instinctive, expressive and influenced by cultue symbolizm.
Specifically, I am espcially influenced by expressive abstratct artists of the NY 50's.
Works on this site have been created over the last 10 years and represent variety in subjects, technique and influences.

This painting is an homage to 5 artists who painted Abstract Expressionism in NY during the 1950s - Andy Warhol, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Yayoi Kusama and Ad Reinhardt. The painting combines elemnts similar to their works in a new composition. For short the work may also be called "Chicken Soup" for the very distinct Cambell's Chicken Soup can.
