GRAHAM DOUGHERTY
Artist's Statement:
"We give shape to our rooms; then rooms give shape to our
lives. We pass through rooms unseeing; walls, floors, ceilings,
doorways become unnoticed, accepted, ordinary. It is light which
transforms the commonplace pragmatic shelter into a metaphor of
remembered or desired sensations.
In these paintings the architectural (logical) elements become the
abstracted structures of remembered (felt) moments. Both rational
thought and remembered sensations are unified. The measured
proportions give stability; the color, sensuality; while the
patterns of abstracted light, reasoned in their geometric forms and
sensual and ambiguous in their colors, give release and relief to an
event remembered or longed for."
