Artist’s Statement
Employing a grammar of abstraction
that borrows equally from aerial photography,
map symbolism and primitive
iconography, Chris Ahlers creates colourful
paintings that are as visually
engaging as they are cerebral.
Painterly abstraction meshes with
hard-edge elements to yield canvases that
reverberate with compositional
tension and evoke natural rhythms.
These paintings form a contemporary
response to the riddle of
beauty and subjective experience.
