OBVERSE PAINTINGS

by Fred Chuang




WEAVERY
11" x 14"

After my first year of full-time painting--discovering the basic qualities of my new technique and creating over 90 works--I took a break to visit my Texas family and meet my new neice, Kendra, and my favorite nephew, Adam.  Upon my return, I was confronted by a significant mental block.  I had to re-initiate the creative momentum of the previous period.  This painting is the product of my frustration, the subsequent re-ignition of the fire-within, and the discovery of the value of emotion to my work.
