BART VARGAS:
I put a lot of thought into these paintings. Yet ultimately the act of painting is a meditative form of thoughtful play for me, and I strive for these paintings to communicate visual joy to my audience. Through color, pattern, and movement I want my paintings to celebrate existence.
I paint patterns represented universally throughout human history, including rays, concentric circles, stripes, grids and color fields. I am fascinated with color theory, both the emotion of colors and how they interact with each other. I strive for the image’s energy, movement, color and form to leave the surface, enter space, and engage the viewer.
In essence, each painting is both a celebration of and an exploration into ancient abstract patterns, color theory, identity, and language. With these works, I combine the dualistic aspects of randomness and order to elicit dissonance between ambiguous visual information and intellectual knowledge.
