PIVOT POINTS  |  First Generation Painter

Victor Kord

I choose abstraction because it gives me the opportunity to make something out of nothing. A painting has a face of its own, its own nature and likeness, unmediated and direct. Playing off its traditions provides the imagination with an engaging counterpoint. In my recent paintings I attempt to walk the line between comedy and beauty.
