Interrelated Connections

‘We are connected in so many ways with lines, squares and rectangles. In today’s geographic andsocio-economic spaces, geometric patterns and shapes are prevalent in technology, urban planning, architecture, infrastructure and agriculture. By creating a visual dialogue, one that works with color to color relationships, compositional harmony, balance, depth, and the geometric austerity of squares, rectangles and lines - these recent paintings seek to reveal an animated, illuminated awareness of our sometimes unrecognized yet interrelated connections.’ — Jim Cain, July 2021
