Flow State

Series Description

Responding to the profound power of music to move us, the artists give visual expression to their personal journey through sound. Captured with fluid gestures, influenced by both Asian calligraphy and the raw emotion of action painting, music is conveyed to the page as abstract drawings alive with... lyrical and rhythmic energy.

“We don’t generally work with music playing. But we both love music, and listen intently. We often feel the urge to respond physically, to move, to dance. Occasionally I feel impelled to give visual expression to my experience, to draw the sound. Working with no specific figural intent — I let mind and body go where the music leads. In this case the music was classical — from haunting notes of solo piano to soaring opera arias — with Wolfgang as DJ curating the sound journey.”

The art in this series uses a single color placed either as figure or as ground, reflecting the importance of both sound and silence in the structure of music. The images express a delicate fragility yet simultaneously convey strength and certitude.

While hints of the human figure emerge, their true essence transcends that form. The energy and transformative power of the music is contained within the marks themselves. Outside their figurative orientation, the images reveal more. Step beyond the surface and explore the hidden depths of these captivating images.

Framed with a custom 4-way hanging system, the art can be rotated and viewed from different perspectives. Each view reveals its own statement and energy. Arranging artwork in this series — on their own, in pairings, or groupings — the collector is invited to join in the creative conversation begun by the artist and explore their own visual experience.
