Artist Statement:
Dover Abrams floats between
his two roles as artist and
gallery curator in a world of
unstoppable self-expression,
immeasurable energy, innocent
frustration, biting irony and
an intuitive comprehension of
human relationships and
emotions.
The former graffiti artist
exchanged spray can for
artist's brush at the
influence of partner Jill
Peterson, and in doing so
discovered the most creative
phase yet in his artistic
evolution. Where plastic
nozzles once spewed visual
statements on concrete and
stucco, now tubes of oil paint
are blended in bold, sweeping
lines on canvas and plywood,
applied in a rhythm that finds
its pace between the passion
of youth and the measured
understanding of creative
maturity.
People are often best seen by
those closest to them. In
Jill's words, "Dover's
paintings are created in a
free flow of ideas, thoughts
and emotions, narrated in
bursts of color and
shape...Working at a fevered
pace, Dover often paints 10
hours or more a day, typically
finishing one or more
paintings in one session at
the easel...The love of art
and life flood off the canvas
in a vibrant array of
color...Much like a Rorschach
test, each viewer will see
something different ...
