John Dempcy

Form follows process as drops of paint evoke organic forms and architecture that reverberate in nature. Within a limited framework of shape, color, and pattern I create abstract paintings that explore an environment in flux, shaped by natural forces, and a balance struck between order and chaos. Through my work, I strive to convey a sense of the mystery and beauty inherent in the unfolding process of life.
