From realism to abstraction
The 1999 catalogue title From Realism to Abstraction is the artist's own map of this spectrum. His work runs from close observation, through cubist construction, towards abstraction. Style is recorded as a tag, not a folder, so a work can be found here and in its series and subject alike.
