If you contemplate it, it becomes something else. The important thing is to create. It is his perceptions and associations which he explores and upon which he experiments within the creative process. Bullock seems no closer to the 'orthodox' streams of Surrealism than Palubinskas. But all these links are deceptive.
Bullock begins with an idea, an impulse, a spur toward a mind field.
The visions that result reach out and lead us through our own inner workings. We walk into a Scott Bullock painting, only to get ambushed in our own back alleys of the mind. In this showing at Byron Roche Gallery, Scott Bullock is represented by several watercolors as well as etching, acrylic and oil media. The artist himself concedes the complexity of his composition. He notes that each work is the result of numerous preliminary sketches, which lead to tonal studies for deciding the lights and shadows of a finished work.
