Project Description

Paul Brahms

Artist Statement:

Painting is a language, offering the possibility of preserving and/or communicating and/or experiencing, through the language, what we think we know. Language offers a framework to help us know what we think or feel, and in the case of the language of painting, it also offers us a process to help us know what we see. What we feel. What we think we believe to be true. Languages are objective, their systems and rules, but ultimately they beautifully lend themselves to our own particular experience of seeing, feeling, being. We learn languages by listening. Studying. Understanding. And then we speak and we fail and we speak again.
