Artist statement

Interested in the timeless and disparate associations assigned to black, I describe my work as ‘bruteminimalism®’: a concept situated somewhere between the minimal, abstract, conceptual and absurd. My physically powerful, s[r]eductively delicate ‘hybridsculpturalpaintings®’ trigger both immediate engagement and visceral reaction, conjuring images of voids in space and postapocalyptic futures... Applied in thick layers on a multitude of substrates, I meticulously bend, scrape and sculpt my proprietary black material [postapocalypticblack®], to create mysterious areas both smooth and rough that proportionately reflect, refract, distort and absorb observable levels of electromagnetic radiation... My ongoing oeuvre examines the physical and psychological qualities of visual experience through the use of black paint. Gabriel J. Shuldiner | 2021
