In most cases, observing a painting is like looking at a snapshot of a particular moment in time.
I dont start with an idea of what the finished painting will look like.
Whether its love, anxiety, boredom, euphoria, etc.
Hopefully to conjure personal memories in the viewer, rather than have the painting dictate a specific narrative.
Sort of like one of those slide puzzles or a Rubiks cube.
Ontario-based artist Eric Pause creates striking figurative paintings using geometric abstraction.
He tries to convey the passing of time through these fragmented compositions.
