VIEWED FROM THE AIR, WE SEEM TO HAVE LOGIC AND REASON.
With the
invention of flight we have been able
to view the earth from above and with the
invention of photography,
record
it! The development of Aerial Photography began in
the 1850's when balloons with
cameras attached were sent aloft.
Today we have satellites taking pictures of
the earth, a greater number of people are now flying and with the
exposure from
television and film to the "aerial perspective" this view has become
more
common. It was because of these technologies
I was able to develop Aerial
Landscape Painting.
This new
approach to viewing landscape seemed to me a logical
progression from the
traditional Landscape Paintings we have
been exposed too. In 1980 I started the Aerial
Series,
using photos as a reference, which were taken
while flying with my sister over the
early paintings were "realistic"
then latter developed to a more "expressionistic"
and "abstract" nature. I painted this
Aerial Series for about 6 years and
completed over 120 acrylic on canvas pieces
and hundreds of works on paper.
After
this series I went on working with
abstracted plant forms and other ideas.
