Recent Work By Myron Gilbert

Runs entirely on entropic force, a brilliant new development by your team in action. Charcoal on 40 Lb. Fabriano textured, cream tinted paper. 9.5 x 12.5. 2017.

Done this year, in fact, just recently. I keep devolving back in time with constant references to the 20th century which I integrate with my current sensibility. I am not sure what that means but I keep working in either an abstract way blended in with what I think of as figural expressionism. Kirchner, Malevich, and Krasner currently have an enormous pull on my thinking.

Again, from that sketchbook I recently unearthed and opened. These drawing are of the same person but in very different styles. The point is that, as I see it, the model or the object of a work is merely a starting point. Call it an inspiration if you like but the trick is to fashion something from reality. I am not interested in reproducing reality. That’s for the camera in the hands of a robot. My goal is to create something that is visually interesting, if only to me but also, hopefully, to others as well. On 11 x 14 archival, Aquabee paper.
