Jon Groom: Between the Light: Paintings and Watercolors 2002-2006

Dazzling color studies, representing recent work from the contemporary painter Jon Groom.Jon Groom's art demands multiple viewings. While the initial impression is of two-dimensional blocks of flat pigment, his pieces appear to change shape and color as the viewer moves in front of them. This collection of exquisitely reproduced works displays the effects of Groom's sculptural approach to painting. The book is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the artist's oeuvre. "Painting is a journey to simplify the complexity of existence," claims Groom. This book takes readers on that journey, one that explores the nexus of color and shape.
