Presentation
Artist Statement:
My work is an intuitive adventure of exploring the dynamics of emotions through form, structure and color. I look to capture the energy of these elements and their interaction in the space that they occupy. Taking my head out of my work, I strive to achieve spontaneous mark making; quickly applying layers as I build the painting.
Howard Brotman was born in Philadelphia, PA and attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY majoring in drawing and illustration. He established himself as a graphic artist in New York City for 15 years and left the field to pursue other interests. In 2004, after twenty-some years, he re-visited art again by drawing the figure at the Art Students League. His love of drawing took hold as the figure became the catalyst to pursue his passion for art again. Upon his return to art in early 2006 he moved away from the classic, academic methodology and began to explore his interest in minimal geometric shapes and lines. He continued to explore these abstract images as interpretations of life's experiences when he was diagnosed with cancer. This event was an alarm that life is short and it was time to get back to his roots and continue his creative journey. Since relocating back to the Philadelphia area in 2008, Mr Brotman has explored the grid and developed several series around this minimalistic format such as Dark Spot, Abstracted Details and Leaves. His use of paint is mostly intuitive, looking to capture space by making marks that build and take shape in a congruent and oppositional way.
