| visually i am fascinated by the unexpected, by extremes, by textures, both man- and mother nature-made, and by the tension between order and chaos. for this reason much of my work employs rough and/or asymmetrical elements. after all, life is rough, life is asymmetrical. as unpredictable and rough as life is, so too should art be. at least my art ... |
| christian gollub artist statement |
| a friend of mine once said, “symmetry is the sign of a weak mind.” whether this statement is at all accurate or not, i attempt to explore the asymmetrical side of life in my work. if striking color combinations and beauty emerge, all the better. |
| (please note: now and again i have been known to lapse into symmetry.) |
