Abstracts: Black & White

Black and white abstracts let me focus on the lines, shapes, forms, shadows, and gradients
instead of color. Contrast may be high or low.

Crop a circle and you may create a sense of lyrical movement. The image becomes more abstract and minimal. It teases the viewer by suggesting that there is more outside the frame and stimulates imagination and interest. Whether the subjects are monochrome or color, smooth or textured, cropped circles are the harmonizing element in this series. Created between 2017 and 2025, each image cuts confining closed curves of still life objects and architecture.
