Steve BarylickBeing born into a household where music was a constant influence, I developed a keen awareness of rhythm and harmony that was reflected in my design career; and which now is evoked in my paintings. Sometimes I’ll play my drums prior to starting a canvas; most often, however, I’m plugged into my iPod. Music enhances my perception and I visualize that sensory paradise onto the canvas. My painting is unrestrained, inviting and expressive while creating a paradox of movement within a static canvas; the abundance of textures, colors or monochromatic tones along with the asymmetrical shapes and lines, create vibrancy that’s a hallmark of my style. I’m interpreting limitless possibilities, enjoyment, and transparency; however, there are visual nuances that await discovery. The viewer is invited and encouraged to interpret whatever they see...
it could be something mysterious, decidedly simple, elegantly sensual
or excitingly exotic. Steve Barylick
