Artist's Statement: Updated
"As an artist I seek to portray truth with my art. Because abstract or non-representational art is left open to interpretation by the viewer, the viewer becomes a partner with the artist in this quest for truth. I use color, line, and form to evoke a response from the viewer. In my representational works I simply try to show the beauty of creation. Only when we realize that we are created can we create. I feel that my art is co-creation with God. When I get out of the way and let the work lead me, then I enjoy both the journey and the destination. I have had the good fortune to study under Joan Blackburn, Janet Rogers, Gloria Ivy and Wayne Spradley. The instruction I have received from these fine artists expands my horizons and strengthens my art.
My work does change and I do paint in several styles. I do not view this as a weakness in my work but rather as being true to the work. My sincere hope is to serve the work as fully as possible. When being true to the art requires a different style, then I paint in a different style." Gene Black
