‘Lost time, found again’ is an ambitious collection of original paintings by Maser. With this new collection, comes a new chapter. A fusion of techniques and ideas, honed over the last 25 years. The push and pull of time is a key narrative in this collection. With family and work at the heart of Maser’s life, these paintings illustrate the search for equal balance across each day. The movement of energies, the rearranging of priorities and the creation of harmony.
Maser’s paintings are a balancing act of colour, layers and form. With each element representing a different construct of life – time, balance, expectations. The ambitious endeavour to keep everything afloat. Maser’s graphic eye leads the creative process with captivating compositions. While his expertise in street art, and fine art, bring looser forms to the canvas. Each canvas pinpoints a fleeting moment of energy and focus in daily life.
“These paintings illustrate the search for equal balance across each day. The movement of energies, the rearranging of priorities and the creation of harmony.”
The paintings display a graphic balance of forms and colour, with clusters of busy lines creating a focal point to draw the viewer in. These clusters pinpoint fleeting moments of energy. In some paintings they feel somewhat chaotic, and in others they bring harmony and ease to the composition. Eluding to the ebb and flow of life. Maser’s signature use of black forms, usually painted as the final layer, fuses the segments of the painting together. They unify the artwork within the boundaries of the canvas, to create a visual snapshot of time.
Runs until November 14.
