« My concerns lie in process – the act of painting itself – and the avoidance of meaning. »
Established Scottish artist Colin Lawson's hard-edged geometric arrangements are inspired by architectural motifs. The shifting rhythms and interlocking patterns expressed so vividly in his canvases are also evocative of his passion for music, minimalist and ambient compositions which inspire his style and method. The precision and strong color palette Colin utilizes in each piece instantly draws the eye and interest of the viewer.
Colin has displayed his prize winning pieces in solo and group exhibitions internationally.
