Community Folk Arts Central... Art  Moves!

The Birth of my Neo Afro Afro / Afroneo Abstraction is in this early Scratch Board Series. The design elements which didn't develop until into the latter 2000's became my unifying signatures that crossed several of my genres. By Then I had my Education / Research complete and began tying together and documenting periods in the studio, periods in the field / Gallery, Museum Shows,  Art Education & Performance.

In Earth Movement and the Spirit of Growth, my concentration on the figure moved to the face and the mask. But most of he thrust was design, light affect and spatial alignment. Over the years my work took on patterned composition akin to my own Motif Based Golden Mean = The Perfect Composition Format. A Natural inbred Balance. Because my work began to take on a Spiritual / Narrative tone. I began to adopt Metaphysical Symbolism and In a number of years, my work began to exhibit distinct right and left sides. So different works cold be easily combined as panels. The reason that developed is because the free form style that I used kept images in a continuous flow, like one continuous drawing

These Abstract Panels are some of the Style motifs I used as backdrop fields on Larger Figurative works...

ABSTRACTION is the unifying element between figurative statements and pure abstract > where nothing human in form or recognition is present in the composition.
