The dozen paintings in this virtual exhibition of work by Steven Perkins were completed within a span of seven years, the earliest dating from 1988, the most recent completed in 1994. They are arranged below in chronological order in a long column to the left of a short statement by the artist that describes some of the ideas and motivations underlying what he paints and how he works. An interview with Steven Perkins , with Frank Peseckis as interviewer, took place in September 1997 on the occasion of the opening of this virtual exhibition. Perkins discusses many of these paintings in much greater depth in the interview, which can be found in our library . Imagination leaps to fill the landscape with a story, the narrative of the human relationship to a place.
Invention supports the narrative and intensifies visual structure.
