Artist Comments
Translucent indigo triangles sit almost imperceptibly on top of billowing clouds of dark blue, black, and turquoise, while bright green and white geometric shards cut through the current. Artist Paul Kirley says the modernist painting vibrates with motion and contrast.

About the Artist
Born in Massachusetts into a family of architects, designers and artists, Paul Kirley began drawing and painting by age two. From the beginning, he was influenced by his family’s connection to landscapes, buildings and a sense of place. In the fall of 1987 he moved to California to attend the Art Center College of Design. Inspired by architecture and a geometric translation of the natural landscape, he began to develop a signature style of work.
