Art: Omar Chacon

Art MoCo describes the work of Omar Chacon:

Omar Chacon's paintings are deceptive and can be considered sculptural in that he builds them up using pieces of paint as the compositional elements. What appear to be organized brushstrokes of stripes of paint are carefully applied decals of dried paint from previously conceived brushstrokes or drips.

From the Pelican Press:

This work is fresh and original. Chacon is obsessed with color, segments, rows and grids – and yet he breaks free of all of these with each composition. He seems to have absorbed lessons from Klimt and Mondrian, respectively, in his jewel-like colors and his rectangular forms that pulse across the surface. Klee comes to mind too, in his interest in variations.
