This body of paintings was made as an exploration of reduced images through additive or subtractive processes, blocking out or carving away paint to create a new image. Original depictions get reduced to specific moments yet also become generalized as they form.
Raymond Zarnowitz searches for simplified forms cooked down from multiple drawings or ideas, hoping to transcribe a painting’s feeling or sensation without directly conveying its content. By patching color, scraping away paint, and carving out forms with lines over a series of months or even years, his process offers meaning in and of itself.
