« I paint numbers! Painting and numbers can define us in significant ways. Paintings evoke emotion, but as in life, one can feel like just a number. »
Cliff Kearns is an experienced artist from Canada whose paintings have been featured in solo exhibitions internationally. With an early background in design and illustration, Kearns began to focus on more personal self expression since 2000. These fine art paintings have evolved from daily reflections and meditations on Life, and our place in it. In the quest to reveal a true self, every series also incorporates numbers. More and less obvious in each series of artworks, this sequential numbering becomes the common denominator which holds the body of works together. The numbers act as a background counting mechanism as Cliff attempts to get closer to his truth.
