Abstract

Blur is a series of oil paintings depicting a visual of the urban environment at mesmerizing speeds. Daily visual impressions take on a blurred quality and the urbanite seeks to remember an experience yet is unable to do so unless the scene is slowed down or interrupted by a random event.

For example, the painting titled “The Platform” shows how the daily act of taking the subway/metro becomes a distorted chaotic event.
