   KEN BECKLES 126 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK CITY 10011

The art that I do is very abstract in content and nature. The paintings are personal and very different from other artists work due to the way that I approach the work. I mix most of the colors that I use and I also design the unusual shapes that I use for the paintings. I try to use as many variations as I can to separate my work from the rest of the art world so that I have my own dynamic style. I also don't view other artist’s work so that I am not influenced by a current style or trend. My influences come from outside the art world and they are varied as life itself. Being a professional photographer before I was an artist has also had a great deal of influence on my style of art.

The best way to describe my art is to say that it is totally abstract, with large areas of varied colors that are sometimes splashed or solid and very linear in nature. The shapes are very unusual and the colors at times are also unusual. There are also some very hard edges, sometimes there are circles and sometimes there are small paintings within the paintings. My approach to doing the paintings also varies in that sometimes I work from drawings done to scale and then at times I draw directly on the surface because the concept is so clear that I can go directly to executing it. I have a continuing flood of ideas that I am constantly tapping into and as I do more paintings the greater the flow of ideas become. I also work in multiple styles that each lead to a series of paintings and every now and then one of those paintings opens another door leading to a whole new series of paintings. The paintings seem to have a mystic power of their own and they seem to capture a flash of emotion and freeze it in time like a camera does but since they take longer to complete they cover a greater range of emotions. They can best be described as hard edge abstract color jewels that have fallen from the cosmos like shooting stars.
