TECHNIQUE

He had a basic grasp of the principles of modernist color theories, and intuitively derived

techniques based on a unique personal sensibility. He used color not as a static

compositional element; by skilfully exploiting completion and juxtaposition, he directed the

viewers eye movement. He meticulously wielded the fine end of a palette knifeblunt brush to create tone and texture. He also favoured dynamic shapes and forms that

motivated his color values. He produced paintings that pulsate.
