ABOUT THE PAINTING

SYLLOGISM: Acrylic on canvas, 16 x 20 IN.

Syllogism is a seductive reasoning argument. It’s an Aristotelian concept of logic wherein it is best expressed in its typical form as “All A is C; all B is A; therefore all B is C.” The reason I was thinking about this concept and titled this piece as such is because I was playing with mirror images. From the alternating colors in the panels to the sloping lines across the piece and bars going down, the theme is balance. A perfect argument is not disruptive but balanced and logical. There are ways to disagree with someone or something and still find a common thread of harmony... even if it is simply to agree to disagree. I like this piece because to date, it’s the most thoughtful statement piece I’ve explored.
