Bill Brookover

As a printmaker, I’m drawn to paper and water-based inks, rather than to paints and brushes on canvas. My work is an engagement with my materials and ideas of order. When confronted with a blank page, I respond in one of two ways: either I develop a pattern of abstract geometry, or I develop a grammar of expressionist gestures. These two approaches are present in this work, in which I explore the creative possibilities of geometry and expressionist gesture in a tension between opposites: painterly against geometric, monochrome against color, spontaneous against planned.

 

Atmospheria: Volume I

Atmospheria: Volume I by Bill Brookover

Humanity has always been fascinated with the interaction of solar & lunar cycles along with the seasons. Awareness of these cycles leads to speculation about our place in the universe and our mortality. All religions, and their rituals, are efforts to understand these mysteries. Atmospheria: Volume I begins a study of this phenomena.
