Mitchell Chamberlain

This project is a new personal exploration of nontraditional use of materials, frequently utilizing recyclable materials such as discarded wooden boards and scraps of canvas.  These works represent an effort to blend two-dimensional abstract painting with three-dimensional carved or assembled wooden surfaces.  These works also dispense with the traditional rectangular format in favor of more expressive formats, such as undulating borders, circles, or tall vertical shapes.  

These works are intended to stimulate the viewer’s imagination through both tactile and visual sensations.  Unlike traditional paintings, these works integrate the affects of light and shadow as they play across the irregular surface with that of a limited palate of colors to produce visions of abstract thought and symbology.
