Geri Schonberg
Artist’s Statement: In the real world and in the universe of my imagination, I see colors and shapes, nature’s splendors and shadows, order and chaos. In essence, I am a colorist. When I begin to paint, my color selection often dictates the direction my work will follow: The abstract paintings are a process of finding harmony from free-spirited and sometimes chaotic beginnings; in the realistic compositions, I try to impart my impression and interpretation of the subject matter, using strong contrasts and an arbitrarily chosen palette. I believe that my art reflects the passion with which I approach it.
