VINCE CONTARINO
“Untitled (6)” print

“My work is concerned with exploring the possibilities of abstraction through drawing, collage, and painting. An important part of my studio practice involves searching for thrown away or discarded marks and pairing them with more deliberately constructed forms. While there is room for chance and discovery, I strive to operate in a middle ground that is neither restrictive or self indulgent, continually editing down the paintings to their most important elements.”

These paintings were made as part of series called The Subjects, much of which was included in The Teak Obsessions, a book of poetry by Geoffrey Young. The paintings are not direct illustrations of the poems, but rather provide a visual counterpoint. In these works I was striving to reach a balance between continuity (most being meditations on letter-forms) and variation in color combination, composition, pattern, and painting technique
