The author discusses paradoxical relationships in his paintings, including the interplay between flat patterns and carefully modulated depicted volumes, as well as between compositional structure and symbolic content. He describes analogies he finds between these relationships and certain qualities of music.
In the final section he describes his methods of spray painting, involving the use of an airbrush, watercolors and Procion dyes. Illustrations of his works are presented.
