ARTIST BIO
Perceptualism is a term I coined in 1993 to describe my paintings.

I started to do Perceptualist work before I became aware of the Magic-Eyee art only in the way that perception is altered my approach and technique are otherwise totally different.

    • The layering of images comes directly from Cave Art and it is a technique I have used since 1961.

    My current work is post-modernist in approach. It is a mixture of various stylistic tendencies derived from Folk Art, Cubism, Realism, Expressionism, Impresionism, Hard-Edge Paintng, Pop Art, Futurism, and most significantly Surrealism, Optical Art and Pre-historic Art.

    The Surrealistic tendencies are present in the manner I pictorially treat various Meso-american themes such as Quetzalcoatl (the feathered serpent), Mayahuel (the goddess of the Maguey plant) and the Nagual (a shaman).
