My current work uses elements of op-art, color field painting, conceptual art, and Islamic design in an attempt to understand visual doorways to the eternal. My goal is to create a higher level experience that does not require any previous knowledge of art to appreciate – but one that is enabled by pushing the limitations of sensory capabilities. The viewpoint of most of the works, is from looking out from the eternal life- force (that is within us all) as one is approaching the first hints of consciousness awareness … hey! this is different from that. The observed shapes, lines, and colors represent ideas, thought processes, and basic forces as they start to weave the ‘fabric of life’. Some of the works are of a single or a few ideas drawn out in their purest form, while others are created with great struggle where weeks of work only peak through the final version in subtle ways, if at all. Once the works are done, I am but another viewer and my opinion means no more than any other viewer's. I hope that you will find some beauty in them. E.S. Kramer (February 2022)
