Throughout his career, David Kessler has concentrated his
skills upon the effects of light; reflected light, in particular. This
is clearly a primary element in this large and striking lithograph entitled,
"Surface Prisms". Here the artist brilliantly explores reflected light through
moving water and its ever changing influence upon shaping color, tone and
form. |
