PAUL D. GIBSON

My visual interest of transparent objects, realism, spacial ambiguity, abstraction, picture plane, multiple vanishing points and perceptual perspective at times may make the viewer a bit uncomfortable but visually stimulating. This is my main visual problem I am trying to achieve-“give the viewer a visual experience they have not seen”.  The glass vases ,blue, orange cords, tools, mirror, painted cups, larger then life images seem be to be floating in space. The viewer feels as if they can place their hand into the picture and the feeling they are able to push, catch, touch the the objects as they are see on a flat picture plane.  The works are a collection of the results of my picture creating problem I have been working towards in the past few years.
