Mark Yearwood
Artist Statement
Abstract possibilities are endless and after each mark is made on the substrate,
I have to make a decision of what comes next. In realism, you know where the
painting will (or should) end up. This is the part of my work that is the
most thrilling to me. "What happens next?"
Abstract art requires the viewer to contemplate, study and ask themselves
"What am I feeling?" I enjoy being a part of that interactive experience
with the person viewing my art. The impression could be of total awe or disgust,
but a great abstract piece of art is sure to command a reaction.
"Art must be, somehow, essential for life. In fact, art is part of survival;
art is part of the human spirit, an unquenchable expression of who we are;
art is one of the ways in which we say, "I am alive, and my life has
meaning."
