Jerry Walden paints hard-edged visual abstractions in acrylic on canvas by layering random and well-considered stripes of color to form undulating lines of shifting hue and direction that result in multi-colored Formalist compositions.

Walden begins each painting by applying stripes of tape every one inch so that half of the entire surface of the canvas is covered and fills in the untaped stripes with randomly selected color. The tape is removed and the painted areas are then covered in tape and the once untaped areas are then painted with random paint color. This process does not allow Mr. Walden to see the painting as a whole while he is creating it.

Only once all of the tape is removed can he make conscious changes to the hue and line interactions. After careful observation and extended thought, he retouches to achieve optimal balance in hue, value, saturation and temperature. Click here for more info.
